The browser cache problem

There are a lot of help requests where the solution is to flush the browser cache.
Is it maybe possible and helpful to set some cache-meta-tags in the Head section of the website source (at least on the main site)?

Do you mean a tag, such as ftldns? It's a big problem for sure, but not big enough for a category...

No, he means an HTTP meta tag, such as

<meta http-equiv="Cache-control" content="max-age=600,private">

No, I mean the Pi-hole website and some sort of cache-expiry tags on http://192.x.x.x/admin/index.php

/EDIT: DL6ER, yes, something like this.

P.S.: I honestly though we had those in. I think we did, but apparently someone cleaned the headers at some point and may has accidentally removed this meta tag.

Let's hope that this small fix solves a lot of trouble :slight_smile:

Also, the new web interface will not have this cache problem because the built files have a unique hash in the file name: GitHub - pi-hole/web: Pi-hole Web Interface for viewing stats and managing your Pi-hole
