No matter what I do, I cannot figure out how to refresh the screen, and so I can't even see what's new on my own website!

I cannot refresh the screen, no matter what I try. The "restore" is not the same thing. So I always get old versions of websites, including my own. I cannot see a new version of any website I have visited previously. I need to know how to REFRESH my screen, and there is no way to do it!!!!!
