Chrome wouldn't let me do a hard refresh with command+shift+r. I clicked an option to disable cache and did a regular refresh but I'm still wondering two things. 1) Does that yield the same results? 2) Is there something wrong or some other way to make the hard refresh work?

I have sometimes had to go into Settings > Privacy and Security > Clear Browsing Data to clear the cache before a hard refresh will act as expected (when using Chrome).
Also, I have found that if I enable a CDN (Content Delivery Network) on a site, sometimes a change to the website (such as swapping-out an image) won't take effect, even with a hard refresh, because the change hasn't propagated through the CDN (can take hours to days, sometimes). In fact, I will usually disable any CDN while developing, to avoid such issues.
By the way, if you are using anything like WordPress, it helps to use a plugin, such as WP Super Cache, to completely clear your cache and be able to hard-refresh properly.

I hope that helps.
Stay safe and happy coding!
