<p>Are you a frontend developer? Do you want to clear browser cache for all users? Just activate this plugin and show your work!</p>
<p>Prevent Browser Caching allows you to update the assets version of all CSS and JS files automatically or manually in one click.</p>
<p>Now you can show the latest changes on the site without asking the client to clear the cache.</p>
<h4>How it works?</h4>
<p>Usually, WordPress loads assets using query param “ver” in the URL (e.g., style.css?ver=4.9.6). It allows browsers to cache these files until the parameter will not be updated.</p>
<p>To prevent caching of CSS and JS files, this plugin adds a unique number (e.g., 1526905286) to the “ver” parameter (e.g., style.css?ver=4.9.6.1526905286) for all links, loaded using wp_enqueue_style and wp_enqueue_script functions.</p>
<h4>For developers</h4>
<p>By default, this plugin updates all assets files every time a user loads a page and adds options in the admin panel (Settings -> Prevent Browser Caching) which allows you to configure updating of these files.</p>
<p>But you can also set the version of CSS and JS files programmatically.</p>
<p>Just insert this code in functions.php file of your theme and change the value of assets_version when you need to update assets:</p>
<pre><code>prevent_browser_caching( array( 
    'assets_version' => '123' 
) );
</code></pre>
