How to refresh a page in Safari

Click the circular arrow in the URL field on the right.

This answer is INCORRECT, the circular arrow never clears the cache. An example: I update a page on my website to remove errors. I still see the errors under Safari, while in other browsers, I just EMPTY THE CACHE and the new content is visible. The refresh in Safari does not empty anything, it just redisplays (what is in the cache if applicable -> the wrong page). I can refresh twenty times, the same wrong content is visible, I use another browser (Firefox for instance) and it works, this is reproducible and systematic.

Can somebody provide a correct answer to the question? In many cases "refresh" won't refresh the page correctly.

I have never had it fail to refresh the page correctly on an iMac, MacBook Pro or iPad...emptying the cache has nothing to do with the question.

command r also works on every version of Safari I've used and that goes back to v1. I also always get a full redraw for any properly coded page.

Maybe there is a misunderstanding, but normally you need to refresh the page when there is something wrong. I often have small issues for instance with flickr, a picture does not display because of their servers (some farms are sometimes not active, then get active again). The pictures display as a question mark in a small blue square. If the pictures are restored, and you refresh the page on Safari, the picture will NEVER display, you need to clear the cache. The only way to do this is the following (found in another forum post):

1. Go to Safari > Preferences > Advanced and select Show Develop menu in menu bar.

2. Go to Develop > Empty caches

If you THEN refresh the page, the content will be displayed correctly.
