Go to Safari > Empty Cache
, or hit ⌘ Command+⌥ Option+E. To refresh, click the refresh button on the addressbar or press ⌘ Command+R.
Another tip. If you want to restore Safari, like completely clear all the caches, or parts of it, go to Safari > Reset Safari
. I use it usually when I need to clear a lot of memory from Safari, for it will clear the webpage screenshots, the cookies, the favicons, etc.
Edit: On the latest version of Empty Cache
isn't on the Safari
menu any more. It's now on the Develop
menu. To show the Develop
menu it, go to Safari > Preferences...
, click the Advanced
tab, and check Show Develop menu in menu bar
. The keyboard shortcut remains unchanged, though.
Safari > Reset Safari
isn't an option any more. To clear history you can use History > Clear History...
and to clear cookies/local storage data, go to Safari > Preferences...
, click the Privacy
tab, and either click Remove All Website Data...
or Details...
to view and remove it for individual sites.
