I am new to caching and as per this article, this solution of deleting a stale cache can be achieved without a refresh? My understanding is EVEN with a refresh, some applications are cached, hence various solutions used to invalidate cache.

In my react app, if I refresh my app, the latest code is reflected. It's only IF the code is not refreshed and I go to another page, nothing is updated.

I am also using react router. Does an internal request need to be made for meta.json then?
