A must

by Lovro Hrust·2 years ago

This is a great tool for advanced developer. It saves you from manually versioning your css/scripts or devising your own versioning solutions based on system time which would reload css/js every time, slowing a page load. This ensures only changed styles/scripts are reloaded. Five stars!

Works very well

by mcostam1985·4 years ago

It does the job. You upload or do changes to the css, js of the site, and with just pressing the F5, everybody gets the new changes.
