If It Still Looks Wrong

If clearing the cache doesn’t fix it, try these quick steps:

  1. Restart your phone/computer.

  2. Toggle Wi-Fi off and back on, or switch to cellular data briefly.

  3. Restart your Wi-Fi router (unplug 30 seconds, plug back in).

  4. Try a different browser or an Incognito/Private window.

In rare cases, your internet provider or network can temporarily serve a cached version of content, and a router restart or switching networks helps.
