The Joy of F5

F5 is a function key–available on the top row of most keyboards. It is known as the “refresh page” key.

F5 refreshes Internet browsers and other Web pages that either take too long to load; load incorrectly; or clears the cache to bring forward a newer version of a Web page.

Use F5 to clear or refresh anything that may be viewing a bit funky. It’s a great little shortcut!
