By default, Flask doesn't use cache in such ways, it caches only static data if not specified. If a page has changed, flask will force the browser to reload new data instead of using cache. Any restart can kill all the cache used earlier, meaning that all users previously accessed the page will lost all their cache.

This is a problem with your browser, rather than Flask.

If you're using Chrome you can open up Developer Tools > Network > Disable Cache. The cache will remain disabled for that specific page while Dev tools is open.

If I'm not using Dev tools, I like to undock it in a separate window and then minimize it to keep my workflow clear.
