Ctrl+F5 vs Ctrl+R (On Browsers)
What exactly does CTRL + F5? I have used for years to get fresh non-cache page. How does it work? Does it request makes a request to the DNS server for non-cache paged? If not, then when and where does it request for the non-cached page.

It tells the browser to get a new page regardless of what it has cached on disk (As if you had never seen it before).
It has nothing to do with the web server.
