We’ve already discussed this here:

Issue With Updating HTML5 Version To My Website

Hi, Took a long break, but have just returned to Defold. When I upload new version of my HTML5 game to my website, the old version is shown? If I clear browser cache and reload the game then the new version is shown? Any way to fix the above, I can’t keep telling players to delete their browser cache… Thanks! Here is the HTML5 game demo: http://fallenangelsoftware.com/stuff/files/RedLightRacer/HTML5/js-web/Red%20Light%20Racer/ Jesse

HTML5 build with local cache update (SOLVED)

My problem is following. I have a game on server and this game loaded in iFrame window. So when i update the game. local browser continue use local cached files (yes it possible to click shift+refresh, but it’s not a solution because most of people won’t know about that). Maybe one of the solution is to use fake parameter like ?v=0.5 to all resources. and i can do that for index.html, but can not for loader.js and archive/* files. Is there any another simple solution fro that? thx

Using an archive location suffix should help though. And we do plan for editor extensions and I do believe that this would be another use-case with a post bundle step that could rename files somehow.

But I’m also a bit confused because this doesn’t seem to be a problem for all webservers. If I upload an updated version of an HTML5 game on a GitHub Page it will be correctly detected as updated I’m always provided with the new version.
