Sometimes cache files stick around for a while and users have no control over caching applications. If you want your css, javascript, image or other asset updates to be reflected instantly, this is the perfect solution for you. The plugin has been tested extensively with WP_DEBUG enabled and works seamlessly with multi-site network setup.
