Bootstrap Glyphicons not visibile after refreshing IE - asp.net-mvc

If I start the Project with Visual Studio(2013) and choose HTTPS the first time the application starts I see the glyphicons but not if I refresh the page.
If I do the same with HTTP then I dont have this Problem.
In my web.Config I don't use Cache and I also checked the Font Folder everything seems OK.
I saw many similar question on stackoverflow like this link
or this one but nothing helped.

IIS caching "The layout page could not be found at the following path" error

The Problem
I have a website running in IIS. If I rename or delete one of the layout page .cshtml files under /Views/ the site immediately begins throwing following yellow screen error as expected
The layout page "_Layout.cshtml" could not be found at the following path: "~/Views/_Layout.cshtml".
What surprises me is that if I recreate or rename the file so it is exactly like it was before, the yellow screen persists. Why is this particular 500 error sticky?
I currently think that this has something to do with IIS and is specifically related to error handling. The site immediately detects that the layout page file is missing. It does not immediately realize when the file is back in place.
Thanks!
Some interesting clues
This happens on all of my sites I've tried this on so far. It isn't related to a specific site
I tried this on two websites at the same time. On one site I repeatedly and consistently refreshed the page hoping for a success. On the other, I left it alone for several minutes before checking again. The site I leave alone will resolve its problems and find the layout page on disk again. The site I continually make requests to appears to display the error indefinitely.
What I've tried
I have reproduced the problem on Umbraco websites using Umbraco's default routing as well as regular MVC pages using custom routing. The problem is the same for both.
I don't have output caching configured in IIS
When I am reproducing the yellow screen error, I am able to reproduce the error in multiple browsers, so I don't believe it is related to browser caching
I checked on the httpRuntime in the root web.config and the fcnMode is set to fcnMode="Single"
I've fiddled around with the web.config customErrors and httpErrors. Nothing I've done here has affected the problem.
I am able to reproduce the problem on websites where there is no custom code for caching. No CDN. No load balancer.
Versions
IIS: I have reproduced the problem on Windows Server 2012R2 running IIS 8 and Windows 11 running IIS 10
CMS: All of the websites I have tested on so far are Umbraco 7 sites. However, I have reproduced the problem on pages that are routed using Umbraco's out of the box routing as well as pages that are just set up using MVC and aren't leveraging Umbraco.
It appears to be part of the behavior of FcnMode="Single". See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.web.configuration.fcnmode?view=netframework-4.8. It isn't an issue with caching. It is a problem with the way that the site's file change notifications (FCN) are configured.
The sticky 500 behavior on renaming files happens when I use FcnMode="Single" but not when I use FcnMode="Default".
FcnMode="Single" will result in only a single object to monitor file changes. This single object is responsible for monitoring changes to files in the main directory and sub directories.
FcnMode="Default" will result in a separate object to monitor file changes for each directory.
Umbraco sites, by default, use FcnMode="Single". This makes sense because Umbraco sites cache under very deeply nested directories in /App_Data/. This can result in so many of these monitors that it can affect the performance of the site. There is a great explanation of FcnMode and why it matters for Umbraco here: https://shazwazza.com/post/all-about-aspnet-file-change-notification-fcn/
Unfortunately, it appears that the single file monitor can miss renames of files in some cases.

iOS Safari loads a wrong page

I've met a very strange bug when tried to open my web site http://akr-congress2016.ru/ in iOS Safari. Please see the screenshot below.
It seems like some elements are loaded from a completely other web site. The new site is a copy of the old one, but layout files (I'm using Phalcon) are changed. There is no link to the old web site at the page.
Also I've noticed doubled logo, it seems like a rendering bug.
When I refresh the page it is loaded normally.
I'm weird what might make Safari to load some fragments of the page from completely another domain.
The screenshot
Try to remove cache from browser. Or maybe it's just an issue of DNS. In that case you just need to wait untill DNS will get updated.

Sudden CSS styling issue only on Safari on iPhone

Trying to help troubleshoot an issue with a charity's web site and it appears that the site's CSS is only partially loading when viewed on Safari. A short link to the site is http://bit.ly/1znipeN
I've used the W3C CSS validator on the child theme CSS and it validated ok, less a couple of warnings. The odd thing is that the site appeared to be working fine until today. I wonder whether it could be a temporary issue in a 3rd party resource, such as JSQuery or similar that is causing Safari not to render correctly? It works fine in Chrome for example.
Is there any way of debugging it to try and find the cause?
If you haven't done so yet clear cache in Safari and Chrome and reload to check if the error is possibly now gone or visible in multiple browsers.
If you are using versioning such as git:
Undo all changes that have been made today (and maybe also yesterday) and test again. If the site works now on Safari, take the changes back in one by one and test which one breaks the layout.
If you use a preprocessor such as Sass, compare the size of yesterday's CSS file to the current one. If it is smaller there might be an error in rendering the file.
Hope one of these helps.
Ah interesting, so these lines we added to .htaccess were the cause for the site not to render correctly in Safari, Firefox and a few others (worked fine in Chrome).
<filesMatch "\.(js|css)$">
Header set Content-Encoding x-deflate
# Header set Content-Encoding compress
# Header set Content-Encoding x-gzip
</filesMatch>

Bundling and minification is sending old styles

I was followed this article to setup bundling and minification, http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/mvc-4/bundling-and-minification.
I thought it was working great, until I updated some css, but I kept getting the old style. I am working in firefox, I have cleared my cache, restarted my browser, restarted IIS, and even restarted my computer, and nothing is working.
When I turn off bundling and minification
BundleTable.EnableOptimizations = false;
The new styles show up and the page looks as it should. Turn bundling and minification back on and I get the old styles again. Also, whenever I rebuild or change one of the css files, there is is a new chache busting token. So you would think that it is sending different content, but I still get the old stuff. I even added a test class to one of the css files, then downloaded the minified css file, but the test class I added is not there.
Has anyone else run into this problem?
Follow my instructions under Debugging Bundled and Minified JavaScript to figure out what you're doing wrong.
rebuild or change one of the css files, there is is a new chache busting token
Verify you are using RC and not beta. Rebuilding will not change the cache busting token, only a change will.
Don't I feel like the bonehead. Apparently I am working too many hours. I had a style.min.css file that the optimizer was using, but I was making changes to style.css. I even knew that is what the optimizer did, but I... Well no excuses. It was a brain fart.

CSS not updated during debugging ASP.NET MVC application

I am working on a test application based on ASP.NET MVC. I am new to CSS stuff so I am learning that as well.
I have created a master page called "new.master" and created a new css "new.css". I am calling the view from controller as:
return View ("About", "new");
What I am doing is that I am frequently updating the css and master page. So I run the application in debug mode frequently. After sometime I stop seeing the effect of changes in css. When I "view source" in chrome and check the css, it shows an old version.
When I change the name of both master page and css, I start to receive updated views but that works for sometime and then again I stop getting the CSS updates. Have you faced this problem? How can I fix it? (Its terribly annoying!)
Your browser is caching the css. If you force a refresh with F5 that should display any changes.
I think this may be a browser cache issue. In in IE and FF I usually do Ctrl + F5 or Ctrl + Refresh button. Also you can manually clear the cache. For IE you can use the IE Dev Toolbar and for Firefox there is Firebug with both you can clear the cache easily. Not sure about chrome, sorry.

My Book: Inside the Microsoft Build Engine : Using MSBuild and Team Foundation Build
I found another case in which this can happen.
We started our application with just plain links to the CSS files, then switched to using bundling. We updated the old <link href="#Url.Content("~/somePath/someStyle.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> to #Styles.Render("~/Styles/bundles/someStyle").
We also use a few stylesheets which are only needed for some pages, and they have their own bundle. Now, for one of them, we forgot to change the link tag to the #Styles.Render statement.
The result was that this CSS got updated now and then (so we thought everything is OK; the style wasn't missing), but we could not influence when the update happens. When I started making changes to the file, I realized that nothing I do (emptying the cache, rebuilding the project, restarting Cassini) will trigger an update. The browser always got a 304 Not modified.
So, if you have these symptoms, check your links.
Please use Ctrl+F5 to refresh your browser.
F5 may give you the same page even if the content is changed, because it may load the page from cache. But Ctrl - F5 forces a cache refresh, and will guarantee that if the content is changed, you will get the new content.
hope this will help you
Thank you
go to chroom developer panel by right click inspect -> then go to Network tap -> tick the Disable cache checkbox (note: this should always be checked) -> Refresh the page by pressing F5.
this work for me, hope this help others who have this issue! :)
It's very possible that css is being cached in your browser, so simply clearch browser cache, it should help
This happened to me when I had a master view that would load partial views depending on which partial view the user wanted to see, but the answer from this page helped, https://forums.asp.net/t/1763494.aspx?applying+CSS+layouts+to+a+partial+view
CSS must be referenced in the of the Html document. As a
consequence you cannot include them in a partial view...because in
such case the css is included in the Html body. Please plce the style
sheet in head of the page that hosts the partial view.
I would have css links in my partial views and any modifications to the css files would never happen, even if I pressed Ctrl-F5 in the browser. I also tried clearing cache contents in the developer tools. I noticed by viewing the source stylesheets that the css files linked by the partial views were not changing, so the fix for me was to move the css links from the partial view to the main view where these partial views were to be held.
I had something similar happening to me.
Then suddenly noticed the bundle was added to the page:
#Styles.Render("/bundles/classifiedDetailCss")
instead of:
#Styles.Render("~/bundles/classifiedDetailCss")
Note the missing ~ character in the first example.
(The first example only worked after building the project, otherwise it would return a cached version even in debug mode.)
This can help solve this issues in both dev and production.
