I’m guessing it’s just your browser loading from cache. Shift+F5 should clear it and reload.

Browsers always cache the websites you visit, including local sites. That’s how you can hit the back button without loading the previous page again. Sometimes (like in your case) cache will survive long enough that it can be used to load a page even after the server is gone.

Can't terminate 127.0.0.1:4000 for running
