What's the difference between F5 refresh and SHIFT+F5 in Google Chrome browser?
The reason I ask is because sometimes when using F5 on my site the pictures don't load properly but when using SHIFT+F5 the reload works.

It ignores the cached content when refreshing...

The difference is not just for Chrome but for most of the web browsers.
F5 refreshes the web page and often reloads the same page from the cached contents of the web browser. However, reloading from cache every time is not guaranteed and it also depends upon the cache expiry.
Shift + F5 forces the web browser to ignore its cached contents and retrieve a fresh copy of the web page into the browser.
Shift + F5 guarantees loading of latest contents of the web page.
However, depending upon the size of page, it is usually slower than F5.
