forcing the visitor not to cach the website.

I am looking for an easy (I'm not overly savvy with HTML) way to assure visitors to my site see the latest version of a page, and not the one they have cached. I have enabled catch busting in the options menu and included the following in the meta tags:

<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate">
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="0">

Just wondering if there is anything else I should be doing. Thanks in advance.

Along with what you have already done you can also do the same via the use of .htacess. This is server related so you will need to ask you host on this as it will require apache on the server to work.
# DISABLE CACHING

Code: Select all

<IfModule mod_headers.c>
	Header set Cache-Control "no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate"
	Header set Pragma "no-cache"
	Header set Expires 0
</IfModule>
