Thank you for the update.  
Don’t do anything yet, I want to take a look at it with one of my test units.

Just tested by enabling the cache option, works perfectly fine for me.  
I uploaded an image to my github, added it as a URL as stated in the original question to your first post, and then after seeing that it loads, i go into github and upload a different picture with the same name, and not sure how many minutes later, but not more than 10, the image was showing as the new one.

Nice catch, @ealmonte32. Thanks! The **_Disable cache_** switch is not working properly. I you try refreshing the page and check the switch again, it stays turned off.

Hi, i have the same issue. Anthias still load the cached images of a web page. I can’t see Disable cache switch. There is a way to activate the advances section?

My installation is Anthias Version master@50751c9

Best regards

@davide, it seems that the switch that disables the cache was hidden when a migration was done on the front-end code. Let me take a look at this one. I’ll keep you posted.
