Definition
刷新 (shuāxīn) has three distinct senses: (1) in computing, 'to refresh/reload' a page or screen; (2) 'to break/set a new record' (e.g., 刷新纪录); (3) 'to renovate/refurbish' a physical space. For renovation, 装修 (zhuāngxiū) is the everyday word for decorating/remodeling a home, while 刷新 focuses on making something look new (e.g., repainting walls). 更新 (gēngxīn) means 'to update/upgrade' content or software, not the same as reloading.
