I'm noticing that when i submit code it takes about 2 minutes to actually update on the site. Is this supposed to happen?

The code should change immediately.
But sometimes when you check it, your browser gives you a cached (old) copy. And some CMS do their own caching and/or compression.
Options:
1. Clear your browser cache & history (and CMS cache) before checking site after an edit
2. Use a second type of browser to check site (I have IE, Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Iron on my laptop)

OK, that helped. Do you have any idea how to remove or stop browsers from catching sites. It would kinda be a pain for me to remove cached sites all the time.

(I use the latest Firefox but maybe you should list how for all major browsers, firefox, chrome, safari, opera etc)

Try a Ctrl+F5 one or two times - works for me in Firefox and Chrome - but it will not work on a ISP or CloudFlare or CMS cache
