I am creating a website, but I needed to do refresh several time to see the changes I made in website. Is there any option that I can use to disable cache in WordPress?

    Which cache plugin are you using? If none, then the cache will be controlled via your web hosting - which host are you with? Commented Sep 13, 2017 at 9:01

setting this flag still results in transients.
Are you using any plugin?
Yes. WooCommerce. This version doesn't seem to have any way to turn off using transients.
I do not think so this is the woocommerce issue.
Looking at wordpress documentation, there doesn't appear to be a way to disable transients. ( google comes up with results on how to clear them, but not to prevent them in the first place ). Transients are a form of 'cache' stored in wp_options table.

add code in your wp-config.php file.

//Add This Code In wp-config.php File To Enable Cache With Expiration

define('WP_CACHE', true);      // enable the cache
define('ENABLE_CACHE', true);  // enable the cache
define('CACHE_EXPIRATION_TIME', 3600);  // in seconds

//Add This Code In wp-config.php File To Disable Cache

define('WP_CACHE', false);     // disable the cache
define('DISABLE_CACHE', true);  // disable the cache

If you want more fine-grained control over what pages should not be cached, which ones should and for how long, etc. or you don't want to change the wp-config.php file, you can also try out the W3 Total Cache plugin. I have used it for quite a while now and can recommend it.

Use Disable cache in google chrome developer options. Press F12, Go to Network > check disable cache.
