描述

Since sometimes changes in piwik's js is nessary (fixes and optimizations) one should made it possible to bring these changes to every visitor especially also to returning visitors as soon as possible (asap = instantly on availibility). At this time caching of visitor's browser slows usage of new version down e.g. https://github.com/piwik/piwik/issues/9607#issuecomment-173673850

The problem is that this file is often chached by the browser and reused for some time.

One solution can be an intelligent versioning of this file / the file hirachie construct around. Everytime there is a change, a recognizable new version is provided and with this loaded and used by the browser.

Some general thoughts about this can be found here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8224736/javascript-versioning-to-avoid-caching-difference-in-these-practices

研究方向
This issue requests adding a FAQ entry explaining how to force browser cache refresh for piwik.js after updates. The discussion references a Stack Overflow link and a related issue #9607. A contributor should create a new FAQ page or section in the Matomo documentation covering cache busting techniques (e.g., version query string). The existing piwik.js file path and caching behavior should be documented. No linked PR or maintainer response clarifies exact desired format, so the contributor should propose a clear, concise answer.
