CSS isn't displaying after unload for 10-15 minutes

[floridaflatlander]

When I upload a php or html file the file displays immediately but when I upload a css file it takes 10 to 15 minutes to display.

 

I've searched the web and can't seem to find an answer, this may be a server issue.

 

After I upload a css file ...

 

It doesn't display in ie, firefox or chrome for 10-15 minutes (it's different in this range each time I test)

 

I try the regular refresh in ie, firefox or chrome and ctrl+f5 and it doesn't load the new css.

 

Could it be something in my header? This just started with a new server I'm on(a cloud server) and I've had this same header for a while.

 

Any ideas? Thanks

CSS is always cached, if you need to change it often for development, add the timestamp after it using PHP.

 echo "css_file.css?".time();

Thanks for the reply.

 

No I don't think that's it.

 

I changed the css like you said the style doesn't change.  The time yes the style no, it works fine on my local host in ie, firefox & chrome but not online.

 

I've also cleared the cache, history and eveything else in Firefox and it still doesn't work or change quickly after upload.

 

It doesn't really bother me but I do want to know why it's doing this now and why it doesn't do it on my local machine.

Might be that the host is caching it, and not having configured their cache server properly. I'd ask them, just in case, to see if this is what's happening.
