I have found people having similar issues, but none of their solutions seemed to work for me.

The problem seems to lie in including external php files.
I have all my head stuff in an external file I include with every PHP page, but the CSS in LivePreview doesn't apply until I make any change to the CSS file. (Deleting any one character and then undo does the trick)
Hard refreshing Chrome (Version 90.0.4430.212 (Official Build) (64-bit)) does not seem to work.

Any way around this?

Reproduce:

1. On a PHP page, call an external PHP file: <?php include("header.php"); ?>
2. Add the CSS tags inside header.php : <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
3. Open LivePreview on the first PHP page, CSS will not update until editing one character in style.css
