Image Caching can be a hassle when you are trying to update and tweak your templates, sometimes clearing your browser cache, and clearing the ExpressionEngine cache just doesn’t do it.

In this situation, it is very likely that your ISP is running you through a proxy system such as ‘squid proxy’.

The solution is to add the following META Tag to your header:

<META HTTP-EQUIV=“CACHE-CONTROL” CONTENT=“NO-CACHE”>

It will take up to 24 hours for it to begin working. Once you have finished tweaking the images in your templates, simply remove the tag if you want to allow caching again.
