Unclear on how this works.

    Does this plugin simply manually refresh a site once when we click the button in admin, or does it ask the browser to refresh EVERY time a page is visited? We have a Google calendar embedded, and sometime viewers don’t see the most current version of the calendar. Thanks for any sugestions!

    Howdy Nancy,

    When a user visits a page, it gets the current unique ID associated with the version of the website. If, however, that version changes while a user is still on a page (that is, a user is on a page while you click the “Refresh Site” button) then that page will refresh.

    Use case: someone is on your site looking at your calendar. You add an event to the calendar and click “Refresh Site”. If the user is still on the page when you click on that button, the user’s page will refresh within two minutes – showing the new event. One the user’s page reloads, it won’t reload again unless you press the button again.

    Hope that clears things up! Let me know if you have any other questions!

    Thank you for your very clear explanation! I am finding that Google itself only refreshes at intervals from 5 – 20 min, so that is what is causing a delay in our on site calendar. Your plugin may be useful for other things, too, though.

    thanks again
    Nancy
