On some websites when I press ctrl+r it works and refreshes the page, but on other websites it doesn't work and I have to manually press the refresh button.

Did you try alternatives to refresh like F5 or Ctrkl+F5 to bypass the cache ?

Some website may catch the Control key and thus prevent Ctrl+R from working.
