Thread: How To Solve Browser Caching Problem?

Clearing the cache:

Open your browser and and got to Tools > Safety menu. Alternatively, you can press Ctrl+Shift+Delete to open the Delete Browsing History window (and skip step 2).

Click Delete Browsing History.

Select Temporary Internet Files and Cookies and website data.

Click the Delete button near the bottom of the window to delete your temporary files (i.e. clear your cache).

If you want the browser to automatically clear the cache whenever you close it, click the Advanced tab. Under Security, click to select the box next to the option Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed.

Yea this is a big issue for developers if you use something like chrome and are developing on localhost you can use your incognito mode and take it a step further by disabling chrome setting browser caching.

Browser caching is also very much dependent on the browser you are using if you use something like duck go you are going to have far fewer issues in development, but it's slower. I wouldn't suggest the above method as there are probably some files in your cache you would like to keep. YOu also have the option in some browsers to click on the URL bar and clear the cache for that site specifically without throwing away all of your data.

Sometimes your change might be related to a DNS cache in which case you can run command prompt functions such as ipconfig / release renew and flush DNS. Restarting your PC and router for a few minutes will also solve this.

The browser never clears its Cache, even when it is completely full. This results in issues with web applications because the Cache is most likely to cause any problems that do not affect the same user on a different device.

Steps to Automate Clearing of Cache:

Internet Explorer -
Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced -> Scroll down to " "Security" " and checkmark " "Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when the browser is closed."

Mozilla Firefox -
Tools -> Options -> Privacy -> Select Use custom setting for history if not selected -> checkmark ‘Clear history when Firefox closes’ ->Make sure that Cache is checkmarked and exit option with ‘Ok’ button.

Google Chrome:
There is no automatic clear cache option in Chrome. This is because project Insight employs real-time data that is constantly changing, making it impossible for browsers to accept it and providing no way to automatically clear Cache.

To enable browser cache, simply adhere to the procedures below:
Follow the following steps:-

1. You need to Open chrome.
2. Then Go to Settings and History and click on the Clear browser cache

just clear the catch it will solve the issue.
