If this question is inappropriate - beyond the intended scope of the forums - or is in the wrong forum [General], please tell me.
In using Inspect in my browser window, I encountered something I don’t understand. In the ss, I’ve highlighted what appears to be code added by the browser, the OS, or the Inspect window (IDK). It is NOT part of my source code. The CSS styling in my code does not align elements properly; I wondered if the appended information might be relevant to the issue.
What does the "?_cacheOverride . . . " code mean? . . . do?
I searched and found no information about it. Can someone please explain what the information circled in the ss means, what added it, why it was added, and how I might use the information in debugging (assuming it’s relevant to debugging).
@ahraitch
Can you post some of the
<link>
elements so we can tell what you linked and what you didn’t

Those are all the links in my HTML.
The CacheOverride
tag in the Developer Console indicates the browser is bypassing the cache and fetching a fresh version of a resource. This can happen due to a hard reload, Disable Cache
enabled in the Network tab, server-side cache-control headers, or query parameters added to URLs. To prevent it, disable cache bypassing in DevTools or perform a normal reload instead of a hard reload.

Thank you, Hasan.
I’m happy to learn that it has nothing to do with my styling problem.
I’ve added DEV TOOLS to my list of things to get much better at.
