I would also suggest not doing it for a bit. We're in a rough period.

I'd strongly disagree. It's often quite helpful to clear your cache frequently. You should be doing it on every page load if possible. Follow these instructions:

Note: After saving, you have to bypass your browser's cache to see the changes.

  • Internet Explorer: hold down the Ctrl key and click the Refresh or Reload button, or press Ctrl+F5.
  • Firefox: hold down the Shift key while clicking Reload; alternatively press Ctrl+F5 or Ctrl-Shift-R.
  • Opera users have to clear their caches through Tools→Preferences
  • Konqueror and Safari users can just click the Reload button.
  • Chrome: press Ctrl+F5 or Shift+F5

Your browser may also offer you the possibility to turn off your cache entirely, often disguised as an option which allows you to allocate a certain amount of disk space to the cache. If you turn that down to 0mb, that has the same effect as deleting your cache on every page load.

It's not a horrible idea to do this. It'll marginally slow down page loads, but you'll see the current version of the page every time.
