The problem with your approach is that you are setting it where it is already too late for MVC to apply it. The following three lines of your code should be put in the method that shows the view (consequently the page) that you do not want to show. Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache); Response.Cache.SetExpires(DateTime.UtcNow.AddHours(-1)); Response.Cache.SetNoStore(); If you want … Read more
I believe that must-revalidate means : Once the cache expires, refuse to return stale responses to the user even if they say that stale responses are acceptable. Whereas no-cache implies : must-revalidate plus the fact the response becomes stale right away. If a response is cacheable for 10 seconds, then must-revalidate kicks in after 10 … Read more

It’s worth noting first that although JavaScript is usually considered to be interpreted and run on a VM, this isn’t really the case with the modern interpreters, which tend to compile the source directly into machine code (with the exception of IE). Chrome : … Read more
You can use pageshow event to handle situation when browser navigates to your page through history traversal: window.addEventListener( “pageshow”, function ( event ) { var historyTraversal = event.persisted || ( typeof window.performance != “undefined” && window.performance.navigation.type === 2 ); if ( historyTraversal ) { // Handle page restore. window.location.reload(); } }); Note that HTTP cache … Read more
Are you explicitly setting the values as blank? For example: <input type=”text” name=”textfield” value=””> That should stop browsers putting data in where it shouldn’t. Alternatively, you can add the autocomplete attribute to the form tag: <form autocomplete=”off” …></form>
For Development you can also deactivate the browser cache – In Chrome Dev Tools on the bottom right click on the gear and tick the option Disable cache (while DevTools is open) Update: In Firefox there is the same option in Debugger -> Settings -> Advanced Section (checked for Version 33) Update 2: Although this … Read more
Normal reload The same thing as pressing F5. This will use the cache but revalidate everything during page load, looking for “304 Not Modified” responses. If the browser can avoid re-downloading cached JavaScript files, images, text files, etc. then it will. Hard reload Don’t use anything in the cache when making the request. (which is … Read more
These are usually to make sure that the browser gets a new version when the site gets updated with a new version, e.g. as part of our build process we’d have something like this: /Resources/Combined.css?v=x.x.x.buildnumber Since this changes with every new code push, the client’s forced to grab a new version, just because of the … Read more
