ClearCache

One click. One site. One fresh load.

A minimal browser extension for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox that clears the cache for the current site and hard-reloads it.

How it works

Three modes, one button

Click for one site. Hold a modifier for more.

1
Click

Click — one site

Clears cache and unregisters service workers for the active tab. Other sites stay untouched.

2
Alt+Shift+A

Alt+Shift+A — all sites

Clears the entire browser cache. For when one site refuses to behave and you don't know which.

3
Alt+Shift+D

Alt+Shift+D — deep clear

Cache + cookies + IndexedDB + localStorage for the active site. The nuclear option, scoped.

The cache button your browser forgot to ship

Per-site by default, with escalation modes when you need a bigger hammer.

01

Per-Site Clear

One click clears cache for the active tab only. Other sites stay untouched.

02

Three Escalation Modes

Per-site, all-sites, and deep clear (cache + cookies + storage).

03

Service Worker Aware

Unregisters service workers completely — unlike Ctrl+Shift+R.

04

Cache Hit/Miss Toast

Confirmation showing how many subresources were served fresh vs. cached.

05

Reopen in Incognito

One-click deep clear and reopen in a fresh incognito window.

06

Zero Dependencies

About 150 lines of vanilla JavaScript. No telemetry, no remote calls, ever.

Available everywhere

Available where you actually work

Who it's for
