It is usually a good idea to cache your CSS and JS files as long as possible. But how do you make sure your visitors will download your new files when you made changes to them? Cache busting solves exactly this problem. Cache busting usually involves changing the file name of your assets when you make changes to them. This is done by computing a http://php.net/manual/en/function.hash-file.php on the source and incorporating that into the file name.
