Hi

When I make changes to my html pages and load it up to the server (filezilla) the changes go thru after about 5 minutes when I type in the adres in my browser (firefox, IE) nothing changes for about 5 minutes. I also cleared history and coockies but this is not working.

Enyone can help me?

Thanks
 
Check with your webhost; there may simply be a "staging" process that takes the uploaded files and moves them to the actual location mapped to your website.
 
Hi,

Thanks for replying. It is not the webhost. When I am ad home I do not have this problem. I also disabled the proxy of the webbrowser.

Any idees for this mistery?

Perhaps DNS caching... Try temporarily updating your local machine to use a 3rd party DNS server, such as Google's: 8.8.8.8

Is your webhost the same company as your internet provider? Your description reminded me of a colleague who was getting inconsistencies like you are experiencing at home, but the new pages loaded perfectly while he was somewhere else.
 
Your webhost could be using mod_pagespeed module, which introduces a cached version. Also try using CTRL-F5 to force refresh all page elements.
 
Your webhost may be using edge caching with 5 minutes expire time.

Have you tried cache busting to see if that shows changes faster?
 
As PTNL suggested try doing a CTRL+F5 or if you're in chrome Shift+Control+R to force a resending of all web page data.

Also in filezilla does it show in the bottom that the transfer was successful? There should be 3 tabs at the bottom queued files, failed transfers and successful transfers, if it went successfully then it should show in there as going. Also you could double check server side if your hosting has SSH enabled you can connect to your server directly and make sure that the up to date file is on there.

FTFY. My thinking was something *external* to the OP, given the comments in the start of the thread and the follow-up post.

Though it's almost been a month since the last post from the OP, so who knows what the current status of this issue is.

Thanks for the correction, my eye's have been playing tricks on me for weeks now :p

And yeah, it really could be all manner of things... Someday people will learn that forum posts generally get responses and should come and check in on things, or if they've fixed the issue say so :rolleyes:
 
If you make site changes, it is NOT DNS. Maybe there is a caching or CDN service somewhere. Things like ISA, CloudFlare or Akamai will do this. It might be transparent to you or you might not be aware that it's there. Again, not sure if you tested @ home thru a regular router or at work with a corporate network that might have these techniques implemented in order to reduce redundant traffic.
