Before you go straight to clearing your entire browser cache, one trick you can try is something called a ‘forced refresh’. Normally, when you refresh a page, your browser still serves up the cached version of the page, rather than downloading all of the assets again.
Open the cache.ini file. You are probably expecting tons of information in the file but all it has is a 5 or 6-digit number, e.g. 356867. Replace this number with 1 so the only data in the file is the number 1. Now save the file. Changing this number to 1 resets the cache and it will be rebuild after the SharePoint Timer Service is restarted.
