Restarting servers in development

[Abhishek Choudhury]

I have been working in Django from quite a long time, but every now and then I face the same issue. 

Why is it like whenever I change the CSS/ JS on the pages, it takes some time or restarting of servers to actually take effect. Can we improve this functionality? I am really passionate about Django.

The reason why it is so is because of the browser caching capabilities when the browser see that you are trying to visit a page you visited previously it will load it from the cache if you want it to display the current content press CTRL F5 and you will your newly added content

If you are running in production, make sure that you use something like https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/ref/contrib/staticfiles/#manifeststaticfilesstorage for handling the css and js files. This will solve the problem automatically for you be adding a MD5 hash to the url of the file, which is updated every time you update the file.
