I think I may have screwed something up. I was trying to get my website working offline by using Service Workers. It lead to issues, so now I have commented out that code and am holding off on getting it to work offline.

However, I just visited the live site on my other laptop, which I haven't done for a while, and it gave me an old version of the website, not the up to date version. The reason why it is giving me an old version is because the service worker is pulling from the cache, and doesn't look for live updates if it finds something in the cache:

self.addEventListener('fetch', function(event) 
 event.respondWith(
 caches.match(event.request).then(function (response) 
 if (response) 
 return response;
 

 return fetch(event.request);
 ).catch(function () 
 console.error('Error trying to match event request to cache.');
 )
 );
);

My question is, for people with that version of the service worker and who have stuff cached, how do I get them to see the live version of the site. I don't see how it would be possible. Whatever changes I deploy, they wouldn't even receive because they are just getting an old cached version. I think I'd need to alert them somehow that they need to go into the dev tools and delete the service worker they have installed and/or cache, but I don't see how I'd be able to inform them of this, because they aren't getting any updates.
