Most browsers cache pages on your own hard drive, in order to save time by not having to reload them every time you visit the page. The most obvious situation where this phenomenon is beneficial is when you follow a chain of links, then click on the back page to get back to your starting point. There is no point in loading a page a second time as you retrace your steps.
Unfortunately, this has a negative effect when creating and especially when editing pages. You may not see the latest version. This does not imply that you failed to make the desired edits.
Besides your browser caching pages, WordPress might too. WordPress caching (done in downloaded plugin WP-Optimize) is turned off, but it may have been inadvertently turned on. See the plugin’s optimize page for details.
