When I update websites the changes are not always appearing in the browser. I know this is due to the browser cache because when it is cleared everything is usually ok. This also occurred in Adobe Muse and I added a widget to all of my websites to force a download of the page each time it was visited. What is the best way around this problem in Pinegrow?

This has been a pain in the butt for years. You can’t solve it in Pinegrow.

This seemed to work in Adobe Muse: [https://musewidgets.com/collections/ivi-design/products/ivi-page-updater](https://musewidgets.com/collections/ivi-design/products/ivi-page-updater)  
I don’t know how it worked but it forced the browser to download any updated files. Could this sort of thing be added to Pinegrow?
