Chrome – Google Chrome – Clear Cache for Specific Website

browser-cachegoogle-chrome

I recently created a free web hosting account on x10Hosting. Let's use www.example.x10host.com as my example domain. Before signing up for the domain, I visited the domain to see if it was available. When I saw that it was, I registered it, and immediately went to go look at it on Google Chrome. I still got the "Domain Available" message, so I tried again in 10 minutes, and still got the still got the message. I tried later in Firefox and got it as well. The next day, I tried it in Internet Explorer, and it worked. I am assuming that I now have an outdated cache of the page stored for both Chrome and Firefox. How can I clear just the cache for that specific page so that it will load normally?

@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"
