New content not showing on site unless user clears cache

My problem

Ive got this little annoying problem, which really affects my regular users on my website.

If I add new content to a page on my site, only the old cached version of my site shows up, new text/images/links/divs wont show up unless the user clears his or her cache.

Is this a normal thing?

Solutions?

How can I work around it so that new content can be seen without user having to clear their cache to view new content?

You can do this with the following headers:

  • Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate
  • Pragma: no-cache
  • Expires: 0

I don't know if it will help much in the case of a page that is already cached for a user (before these headers were added).

See this related answer for more details.
