Difference between hit "F5" and "Ctrl + F5" in browser


The "F5" will trigger HTTP request sent to server end with "If-Modified-Since" header, while "Ctrl+F5" doesn't have such header.

F5 will try to utilize cached content as much as possible; and "Ctrl+F5" is intended to abandon all cached content and just retrieve content from servers again.
