Laravel development on remote server experiences CSS/JavaScript change delays

Question

I develop on a remote server. I'm not sure if this is a laravel caching tendancy, but CSS and JavaScript changes tend to be delayed longer than usual. I can make instant HTML and php changes, but sometimes it takes more than a few minutes for CSS and JavaScript changes to be reflected on a page. I do know that .blade.php files are generated and cached within an app/storage/views folder, but even when I delete those the changes are not reflected right away.

I have tried on Chrome and Firefox.

Any ideas? Thanks!

CSS and Javascript are not handled by Laravel.
You can check it from the .htaccess of the public folder

Most likely you are hitting the cache browser. One solution to avoid browser cache is to append to the css or javascript a unique identifier whenever there is a new release, e.g.:

site/my/css.css?12345
                ^
                |
                + - Change this to force a fresh copy

What ended up working best was to clear the cached views on the server, as @dynamic hinted at (Laravel and Blade store these cached files).

AS WELL, to close the tab completely and re-access the webpage fresh. There were cases where it was still cached, and so I would just switch to another browser.
