The browser will also check for any updated files on the server and will fetch them if available. Pressing the Normal reload button will lead the browser to reload the page using the cached data. This functions the same as the reload button does when Dev tools aren’t activated. Once you see the dev tools screen on the right, right-click on the reload button, and the dropdown menu will show you three options - two of which are useful in our case. There are three hidden switches in the Chrome reload button which are accessible once the Chrome Dev tools are activated by pressing F12.
