I'm going to start putting meta no-cache tags on my pages because I'm tired of having to hit refresh to see my updated pages, and I imagine a lot of my visitors don't even think to hit refresh.

Anyway, what will happen at first when I add the meta tags? In other words, will visitors still see the cached version until their cache runs out or will they automatically see the new version even if they still have a cached version on their pc?

I'm thinking about using
meta HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="0"
meta HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache"
But does the order matter? Do these go before or after the title meta tag and characterset meta tag?

Thanks in advance.

Before you're going to start a massive search and replace, read this caching tutorial..

It's not as simple as putting some meta tags in your <head>..
