Thymeleaf Static Resource Caching Issues
CSS or JavaScript changes don't appear after deployment. Browser caches old versions. Users see old styles or functionality.
Aggressive caching hides code updates.
Common Causes
- HTTP cache headers set too long
- Browser aggressively caches .css/.js files
- No cache busting (version strings in filenames)
- CDN cache not invalidated
- Service worker caching old resources
How to Fix It
Add version query string to resources: th:href=@{/css/style.css(v=${appVersion})}. Set cache headers: Cache-Control: no-cache for HTML, public max-age=3600 for static. Use content-hash in filename (style.a1b2c3d4.css). Disable cache in development: spring.web.resources.cache.period=0.

I've been working at a large software company named Kainos for 2 years, and mainly specialise in Platform Engineering. I regularly enjoy working on software products outside of work, and I'm a huge fan of game development using Unity. I personally enjoy Python & C# in my spare time, but I also specialise in multiple different platform-related technologies from my day job.

Jacek Rozanski
Senior PHP/Symfony developer and DevOps engineer with 20+ years of professional experience, running opcode.pl (web development agency, est. 2004).
Day job: I'm the sole backend developer at merketing company where I own and maintain 11 PHP/Symfony microservices on AWS (ECS Fargate, RDS, S3, CloudFront), handle the full CI/CD pipeline (Bitbucket Pipelines, Docker), and manage monitoring with Sentry and CloudWatch. These services handle high request volumes in production every month.
What I bring to AI-built apps:
- I audit and fix security issues (OWASP methodology), performance bottlenecks, and architectural problems in codebases generated by Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, Bolt, and v0
- I refactor AI-generated prototypes into production-grade applications with proper error handling, testing, and clean architecture (SOLID, DDD, hexagonal architecture)
- I set up the infrastructure AI tools don't touch: AWS hosting, CI/CD pipelines, automated deployments, database optimization, monitoring, and alerting
- I integrate external services: payment providers, email systems, partner APIs, SSO/auth
Tech stack: PHP 8.x, Symfony, React, Next.js, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Docker, AWS (ECS, RDS, S3, SQS/SNS, CloudFront), Terraform, Supabase. I also use AI tools daily (Claude Code, Cursor) in my own workflow, so I understand both the strengths and the gaps in AI-generated code.
Based in Poland (CET timezone). Available for async work and calls during EU/US business hours.

You don't need to be technical. Just describe what's wrong and a verified developer will handle the rest.

How do I force browsers to refresh CSS?
Add query param: /css/style.css?v=1.0.1 and increment on release
Should I cache static files?
Yes, but with versioning. Use content hash for automated versioning
