css and js ver numbers?
I noticed these kind of urls when looking at page sources for sites “
href='responsive.css?ver=4.1.1' /> and jquery/jquery-migrate.min.js?ver=1.2.1'>
what is the purpose of the VER numbers? The actaull filenames do not have the numbers and are simply: responsive.css & jquery-migrate.min.js

It’s sometimes used as cache-busters – the idea being that the file is re-downloaded when the URL with ?ver= changes, although the file URL without the ?ver= stays the same.

thanks for the explanation. still perplexed though. I thought that using the simple filename without the ver # seemed to bork the development site i am working on. I do wish to use the simple file name… so I assume that is safe to do.
UPDATED: changed all filenames to simple.css and .js , cleared cache, and all is working fine now.
