Investigate CSS caching issue(s)
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Following the main page redesign, users' cache has interfered with the main page updating for them. There are two possible solutions:

  • Changing the cache lifetime to a lower value (quicker but less clean fix, will slow down loading the site)
  • Namespacing the CSS so that users are forced to download updates

We should first investigate what the current cache lifetime is to see if this is a priority.

I updated our storage backend for static files, so that now we're including a hash of the file contents in our links to static assets. The links in the pages will get updated any time we update static assets and run the existing scripts for pushing changes. This change has been pushed to staging as well as the live site.
