While you should clear your web browser's cache, cookies, and history periodically in order to prevent or resolve performance problems, you may wish to record some of your saved information first. If you are unable to do so, see Troubleshooting alternatives below.
If you don't see instructions below for your specific version or browser, search your browser's Help menu for "clear cache". If you're unsure what browser version you're using, from the Help menu or your browser's menu, select About [browser name]. In Firefox, if you don't see the menu bar, press Alt.

If you need to clear your cache, cookies, and history for troubleshooting purposes, but aren't yet prepared to lose the content listed above, you may wish to consider using a private browsing window in your preferred browser as a temporary solution:
The steps to clear your cache, cookies, and history may differ depending on the model of your Android device and your preferred browser, but you should be able to clear your cache and data from your application management settings menu:
If you are still having the problem, and the page works on other browsers, then the easy fix could be to just uninstall Google Chrome and do a fresh install of the latest version. I ran into this problem and it was the best fix instead of the headache of tracking down a complicated fix or outdated posts that no longer work. After you have Chrome reinstalled, repeat the steps above to disable cache.
Disable it - thus dumping the whole application cache - reload the affected page - and then re-enable. If this happens often or doesn't clear the issue, some cache upstream from chrome is the problem and you should probably leave chrome's disabled.
Selective invalidation of an application layer cache (which is done strictly for application speed) since chrome has "no business" taking over for the system is might be an answer to some issue, but it isn't a very good answer.
Webpack was caching a previous project for me and I need parts of the caching to work so I couldn't use incognito. The top 3 solutions didn't work for my case. What did work and was quick enough to implement was clicking Resources tab in Developer tools, unfolding Cache Storage, and right-clicking to delete the cached data.
Just clear cache for one site (but leave cookies, local storage, session storage) - F12 to open DevTools, then click back to main window, right click on refresh button, "Empty Cache and Hard Reload"
Clear everything for one site (cache, cookies, local storage, session storage) - F12 to open DevTools, Application tab, "Storage" item in the left menu, click the "Clear site data" button
Okay, I got this figured out...I ended up going into Chrome settings and resetting/restoring Chrome to original defaults (which cleared cache, cookies, and probably other things), and then everything in the Dashboard is working again. I guess something got wonky in my local instance of Chrome.
I am working on a new site and whenever I change CSS settings chrome will not accept those changes unless I close out of chrome completely with Task manager and relaunch it. I have a tried quite a few things. Below is a list of things I've tried:
Anyone have any ideas how to help? It is extremely annoying and inefficient to close chrome every time I want to check a CSS change. Another annoyance is that I am trying to listen to music in the browser so if I close chrome I have to go back and get my music playing again and it's just as of now extremely annoying and way more time consuming than I want.
I've tried looking at other articles online about cache busting and other articles on Stack Overflow but I've tried to do most of what they suggest and I haven't seen any positive outcome yet. Most articles say to add some sort of random string or version on the end of the CSS file as a GET request but that isn't working though I know that has worked for me in the past.
"clearing cache" is not as easy as it should be. Instead of clearing cache on my browsers, I realized that "touching" the server files cached will actually change the date and time of the source file cached on the server (Tested on Edge, Chrome and Firefox) and most browsers will automatically download the most current fresh copy of whats on your server (code, graphics any multimedia too). I suggest you just copy the most current scripts on the server and "do the touch thing" solution before your program runs, so it will change the date of all your problem files to a most current date and time, then it downloads a fresh copy to your browser:
Another option to try is to define "cache-control" meta tags in your head section. For development/testing, you may want to have no caching. For a real website, you may want to have a shorter age limit. Refer to the following SO Q&A.
Your cache acts as a sort of digital mini-fridge, storing information about sites so it doesn't have to reload from scratch. When it works, it means you can take a quick trip to your mini-fridge instead of walking all the way out to the kitchen. The problem is that the contents of that mini-fridge can wind up expired -- you go to grab a snack and notice that something that used to be green is now a putrid brown. In browser terms, the cached data might load slowly or entirely incorrectly, leading to wonky-looking websites. Clearing your cache is like cleaning your mini-fridge and letting it stock up with fresh data.
Whether you use Chrome, Safari or other browsers on your iPhone, your cache builds up that digital clutter over time. Clearing your cache gives the browser a new start, which can speed up your web surfing, even on iOS 17. (And if you're trying to get your phone to run faster, try managing your iPhone's storage.)
Website cookies are similar, except they store information about user data, rather than data on the website itself. Clearing your cookies gives you a chance to reset those preferences, which could improve your browsing experience. Note that clearing your cache and cookies will log you out of sites, which means you'll have to log into them again and reset any preferences. But the upfront investment of that time can lead to a smoother experience down the road, and it can be a useful fix if you've recently changed settings that aren't being applied properly.
Safari is the default browser on iPhones, and you can clear your Safari cache in a few short steps. Starting with iOS 11, following this process will affect all devices signed in to your iCloud account. As a result, all your devices' caches will be cleared, and you'll need to sign in to everything the next time you use them. Here's what to do.
4. You can select Website Data to clear data for individual sites, or select Clear Private Data at the bottom of the screen to clear data from all selected fields.
Clearing your cache removes the website data your phone stored locally to prevent having to download that data upon each new visit. The data in your cache builds over time and can end up slowing things down if it becomes too bulky or out of date. (My phone had about 150MB of data stored in Chrome when I checked.) Clearing that data gives sites a fresh start, which may fix some loading errors and speed up your browser. However, clearing your cache also signs you out of pages, so be prepared to sign in to everything again.
Most people only need to clear their caches once every month or two. That's generally the point when your browser will build up a cache large enough to start slowing things down. If you frequent a large number of sites, you should err on the side of clearing your cache more often.
Given quite a lot of complicated and incorrect answers:Chrome caches certificates and does not have an option to remove them.However you can just force it to get a new one, for example if the website is "www.domain.com" you open "domain.com".This will make Chrome re-download the (same) certificate which then refreshes both.
Inside my google chrome I have different profiles (of the browser it self). The system is works in one profile and not works in the second one. But the user still the same. Attaching screenshot.

Choose a time range of data to clear (Last hour, Last 24 hours, Last 7 days, Last 4 weeks, or All time). Select Cached images and files and click Clear Now.
In the pop-up window, choose a time range of cached data to clear. If you want to clear your entire cache, select All time. Select Cached images and files (you can also clear your browsing history and cookies), then click Clear data.
If your mobile device is running slowly, you may need to do more than clear your browser caches. You may need to clear your app caches to get rid of temporary files, old messages, and images that take up memory.
You can think of your browser cache like your pocket, where, when you go out, you keep items that you use a lot, like your wallet, keys, and phone. If you had to run home every time you needed your wallet, your life would be a lot less convenient.
Like your pocket, your cache stores information that you might need again, such as images and text files for sites you frequently visit. Then, when you go back to those websites, that data loads right away, helping you access the site much more quickly.
Cleaning your browser cache can free up space and help your browser load web pages that might be frozen. Cached data can take up a sizable portion of your RAM, causing your browser and other apps to slow down. It may even cause your browser to crash.
