Answer 1

One way can be using the meta tags.<meta http-equiv='cache-control' content='no-cache'> <meta http-equiv='expires' content='0'> <meta http-equiv='pragma' content='no-cache'>

Answer 2

A very Rare condition. sometimes it may be because of your browser cache. there is an option in your Dom inspector which helps to disable caching. press F12 to toggle dom inspector. select the network tab Try the tick on.

Also make sure that you are editing and previewing the same index.html file.

Are you using a web caching service like Cloudflare in your distribution flow? Then try deleting the cache from there. hazaveh.net/2013/11/how-to-clear-cloudflare-cache – Volnay
