Google Chrome - Clear Cache for Specific Website

@dwurf Ctrl Shift + F5/R is Hard Reload, doesn't empty cache.

There is a simple way to do what OP wants:

1. Open Dev Tools by pressing: F12 or Ctrl+Shift+I (or on Mac: Opt+Cmd+I)

2. Now by just leaving dev tools open, right-click or click and hold the reload button next to the address bar. Now a somewhat 'hidden menu' opens.

3. Choose: "Empty Cache and Hard Reload"

Ctrl+F5 reloads the page without using the local cache.

Ctrl+Shift+R also works, but not in IE

In the Chrome DevTools settings/preferences there is an option under "Network":

Disable cache (while DevTools is open)

You can open that, and reload the webpage without the cache.

I had a frustrating situation where a HTTP redirect was cached, so I couldn't just refresh. Opening the DevTools with the "Disable cache..." option open and re-entering the URL was the only thing I could figure out other than doing into the regular Chrome preferences and deleting the cache there (significantly more difficult)

For the record, having the DevTools open also enables a 3rd option on the refresh button (right-click) context menu:

• Normal Refresh
• Hard Refresh
• Empty Cache and Hard Reload (careful, this clears your whole cache)

There is a good explanation of what these options mean here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/14969509/363701

Its worth noting that clearing the cache does not clear the History.
