Hey there! I actually wanted to but I don't have Safari ! Maybe you can try what this guide says: https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/clear-safari-cache/ Let me know if it works, then I will add it to my faq :)

there's also adding the version (?v=123) in front of your css name and changing it everytime you update it like

neocities doesnt let me post html text lol, i meant in your css tag, it would look like href="style.css?v=12345678"

oof right, i thought you meant the meta tag, the one that goes meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache", i've never tested this one but maybe that could work for you

i think you're already doing the best solution... even professional website frameworks will do something similar and automatically rename files to get around the cache

also, meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache" isn't in HTML 5 anymore, so I would take care using it!
@dabric yes i found that info too. damn. but i'm currently looking into using a service worker for cachebusting, i'll try it out and if it works i will make a tutorial :]

if you don't wanna use the CSS cache and no queries, do a hard reload on your site (command/ctrl+shift+r on chrome, search for other browsers) removes all cache backup if the site is supposed to be changed but is not doing it because of cache backups
@underwhite yes i know about that one! i'm looking for a solution that also fixes it for my visitors
Just sent support an email about this bc using the .htaccess doesn't seem to be an option on Neocities -- Let's see if I'll hear back!

@petrapixel you can encourage your visitors to do a hard reload on your index page if that's supposed to be changed
