Have a list of assets, or commit hashes. Poll the server periodically, and when there is a new version available: Prompt the user to refresh Just refresh the user (store current state in localstorage and restore) Do a custom component, that checks the last time the user has refreshed (or if new version if available). When they click the link, render a regular instead of a pushstate link.
Use a service worker. They will emit an event when a new version is available. Use the above methods to refresh the user. Hot code push. Vuepress has “hot reloading” baked in. Links https://twitter.com/wesbos/status/1306969658751361024
