Is there a way to do a hard-refresh on Safari on an iPad (in the same way control-F5 might do on windows/Chrome say?) so that all page resources (including javascript files are refreshed without using the cache).

Note, I don't want to keep clearing the website cache ("Clear History and Website Data") via Settings/Safari as this throws out login details at the same time.

You seem to be able to do it on Mac by clicking in the address bar as though you were going to type a new address, then hitting Enter/Return, rather than the regular refresh icon. Might be worth testing if iOS does the same thing. – Tetsujin Sep 28 '21 at 17:48

Does this answer your question? Can I force a cache refresh in Safari running on iOS? – Kevin Grabher Sep 28 '21 at 22:03
Thanks Kevin, but no - this assumes you have a keyboard if nothing else; it also talks about clearing history - but that is not what I'm looking for. – user1432181 Sep 29 '21 at 13:16
