    Users accessing the site for the first time should get the updated version immediately. For the others, they might have to.

    Normally that doesn't pose a concern, as periodically the browser would ask the server if there's any changes. During development where you reload the site every few minutes you may need to do it, but for a user that comes once or twice a day, their browser cache would likely clear out anyways and they'll then see the changes.

    Also some changes live longer in cache the others. If you change image for a background (or other parts of the site), but leave the name(s) the same, it may stay longer in cache but that would only be a visual aspect for the viewer. If you change the content, for instance if you submit a new blog article if you have a blog that would show immediately.
