A static resource on your page doesn't have cache busting implemented. Without cache busting (like version numbers or hashes in filenames), browsers may serve outdated cached versions of your files even after you've updated them, preventing users from seeing your latest changes.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
<script src="app.js"></script>Add version numbers or content hashes to your static resource URLs.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css?v=1.2.3">
<script src="app.js?v=1.2.3"></script>
<!-- Or use content hashes -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.a1b2c3d4.css">
<script src="app.e5f6g7h8.js"></script>Cache busting ensures that when you update your files, browsers will download the new versions instead of serving stale cached content, while still allowing long-term caching for unchanged files.
