Make my webpage non-cacheable

I have been trying to make my webpage non-cacheable using HTTP Meta tags This is the meta tags that i have written in my HTML page.

meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
meta http-equiv="Cache-control" content="no-cache"

When I analyze my packets through wireshark, I get HTTP 200 message for the first time. But when i extract the page second time, it gives me a HTTP 304 message which I assume means that the webpage is cached.

Can anyone please help me how to make my webpage non-cacheable.

These tags only affect what the browser does, not the server.

In order to control caching on the server, you should configure your web server and/or your web application, and I cannot help you with that without knowing what they are.

Use an .htaccess file. Create an .htaccess with the following content or add the following to the end of an existing .htaccess file:

<FilesMatch "\.(html|htm)$">
FileETag None
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
Header unset ETag
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=0, no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate"
Header set Pragma "no-cache"
Header set Expires "Wed, 11 Jan 1984 05:00:00 GMT"
</IfModule>
</FilesMatch>

Try this in your <HEAD></HEAD> section:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">
