Are you a frontend developer? Do you want to clear browser cache for all users? Just activate this plugin and show your work!
Prevent Browser Caching allows you to update the assets version of all CSS and JS files automatically or manually in one click.
Now you can show the latest changes on the site without asking the client to clear the cache.
<h4>How it works?</h4>
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.
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.
<h4>For developers</h4>
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.
But you can also set the version of CSS and JS files programmatically.
Just insert this code in functions.php file of your theme and change the value of assets_version when you need to update assets:
<pre><code>prevent_browser_caching( array( 
 'assets_version' => '123' 
) );
</code></pre>

Saves you from asking “have you emptied your cache?”.
Forked and updated for todays WordPress and PHP from the original plugin by Paul Clark.
Features
<ul>
<li>Safe to leave running on live sites.</li>
<li>Only refreshes browser cache for a file if it has been modified.</li>
<li>Resolves Content Delivery Network (CDN) issues. No need to purge CDN cache.</li>
<li>Multisite compatible.</li>
<li>“Just works” – no configuration necessary.</li>
</ul>
Requirements
Requires scripts use any of the below functions to load. Almost all files meet these requirements. The only case it doesn’t account for is when URLs are hard-coded. This shouldn’t ever be done, since it can break sites for other reasons.
<ul>
<li><a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_style" rel="nofollow ugc">wp_enqueue_style</a></li>
<li><a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script" rel="nofollow ugc">wp_enqueue_script</a></li>
<li><a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_stylesheet_uri" rel="nofollow ugc">get_stylesheet_uri</a></li>
</ul>

reBusted!

I always have one or two clients where "its still not working for us"

This is the plugin that solves that. 

Recommend developers/agencies everywhere install this and save them and their clients a bundle of time. 

Thanks for keeping this alive after the last Busted version went AWOL. 

Thanks for keeping this alive


This is a great tool for advanced developer. It saves you from manually versioning your css/scripts or devising your own versioning solutions based on system time which would reload css/js every time, slowing a page load. This ensures only changed styles/scripts are reloaded. Five stars!


A must

Force browsers to load the most recent file if modified.
