 * What would be great if there was a shortcode that could be place on a page so
   people can click the button to manually fresh the web page itself, just that 
   page itself

 * Hey jasonb4u2,
 * Can you further the describe the use case for this feature? The purpose of this
   plugin is to have site admins request visitors to refresh their screen. If there
   was some type of shortcode, this would essentially be no different than the user
   simply refreshing their browser.

 * If I were on a website and I wanted a button to click on the page that would 
   do the refresh
 * I didnt see that happening with this plugin

 * Hey jasonb4u2,
 * It sounds that what you’re describing is simply the reload button on the browser.
   Additionally, you could use some JavaScript (like `<button onClick="window.location.
   reload()">Reload</button>`) to accomplish this task. You can find some other 
   solutions at [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29884654/button-that-refresh-page-on-click](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29884654/button-that-refresh-page-on-click).
 * The purpose of this plugin is to facilitate the communication between the admin
   and the user – conveying to the user’s browser that the admin would like the 
   browser to refresh. The use case you described falls outside of that purpose 
   and more into general frontend.
