It would be variation of something like below. I guess I can’t say for sure if glide is doing the caching or your browser. I would lean partially to both. The browser on the end user’s device is downloading and rendering the images. However, glide does format images for efficiency. > [@How can I cause my images to update whenever they change?](https://community.glideapps.com/t/how-can-i-cause-my-images-to-update-whenever-they-change/364/2): > > Images are cached aggressively. You can work around this by causing your URL to update when data changes: [image] Here I’ve made a URL that changes every time the value in F2 changes. I’ve added a fake URL parameter, cachebust (the name does not matter), at the end of the URL. This is totally ignored, but it makes the URL look brand new when the data changes. > [@Potential security issue: ability to clear users cache needed](https://community.glideapps.com/t/potential-security-issue-ability-to-clear-users-cache-needed/13575/8): > > Glide will cache images to make app loading more efficient. You may want to add a query parameter such as ?cachebust=12345 to the end of the url, so it’s recognized as a new url, but will still load the same image. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.glideapps.com/t/photos-dont-update-when-referenced-by-urls/43726)._
