This wikiHow teaches you how to update Safari and get rid of the 'This version of Safari is no longer supported' messages. If you're using a Mac with OS X 10.5 (Leopard) or older, you must first purchase a copy.

I'm using Safari to preview web pages as I develop them on my local server. I've got 'Disable Caches' checked in the Develop menu. And yet Safari is still working from a cached version of a stylesheet that's linked from the HTML file being displayed.

I can sometimes override this by Option-clicking the reload button in the location bar, but I want to refresh the page automatically when I save the CSS file. At the moment I'm doing it using an AppleScript that's bound to the Save action in my text editor. I could see using Keyboard Maestro instead. But I need some consistent way to force Safari to do a full reload from the keyboard.

Enable the Develop menu from Safari menu - Preferences - Advanced.

On Safari version 11.1 and above :

CMD+OPTION+R reloads the page ignoring cache.

On Safari version 9 and above :

CMD+SHIFT+R reloads the page ignoring cache.

Emptying caches seems not to reload the stylesheets everytimes…

On Safari below version 9 :

Empty cache and then reload so full 'hot key' would be :

CMD+OPTION+E

Refresh Safari Browser

Then

CMD+R to refresh the page

Of course probably turning opening and closing a New Private Windowfrom the File would also work but…

The shortcut has now changed to OPTION + CMD + R. (Safari 11.1)

There is an option in the menubar Develop->Disable Caches. This is true for Safari 5.1. I'm not sure for the rest.

Hard refresh was removed as a keyboard shortcut in Safari 5. The old command for that was ⌘+SHIFT+R

CTRL+F5 May work but I can't test here.

Workaround: in the develop menu, select 'start debugging javascript' and it must reload the code properly. You can then stop debugging...I know it's not a clean solution and I'm not sure if it works always or in all versions, but it's working for me now.

Turn on Private mode and refresh the page. It won't get it from the cache in private mode.

I stumble upon this question and apparently the current answers do not work.

Issue is currently CMD+ALT+R opens the Responsive design.

However if the inspector is open via CMD+ALT+I, then the same shortcut does a clean refresh.

Current Safari Version: 12.1.2

CMD+L focus on the address barSHIFT+ALT+ENTER full reload for the current address

It seems to work on Safari 9

Go to Safari's preferences and tick 'Show develop menu'.In the develop menu, click disable Caches.

Safari for Mac

Safari is included with your Mac operating system.

Updating Safari

To keep Safari up to date for the version of macOS you're using, install the latest macOS updates.

The most recent version of macOS includes the most recent version of Safari. For some earlier versions of macOS, Safari might also be available separately from the Updates tab of the App Store.

Reinstalling Safari

Refresh Button On Mac

If you deleted Safari and don't have a Time Machine backup or other backup, reinstall macOS to put Safari back in your Applications folder. Reinstalling macOS doesn't remove data from your computer.

Before reinstalling, you might want to use Spotlight to search for Safari on your Mac. If you find it, but it's no longer in your Dock, just drag it to the Dock to add it back.

Safari for Windows

Safari Download For Mac

Apple no longer offers Safari updates for Windows. Safari 5.1.7 for Windows was the last version made for Windows, and it is now outdated.
