UIWebView doesn't refresh

I have created an app that simply loads my pages into a UIWebView in Swift 3. The problem is that pages seem to cache and do not reload any changes. Anyone know how to clear the cache or delete the file data when the app closes in Xcode 8/Swift 3?

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    @IBOutlet weak var MainWebView: UIWebView!
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        let url = NSURL(string: "http://www.webpage.com")
        let request = NSURLRequest(url: url! as URL)
        MainWebView.loadRequest(request as URLRequest)
    }
}

You can set a CachePolicy for the URLRequest to ignore cached requests. Documentation

Also, if your deployment target is iOS 8.0 and higher, try WKWebView instead of UIWebView

Edit: Or you can just purge all UIWebView URLRequest Cache Documentation

You can try to call webView.reload() function to refresh your web view ?
