One would need to clear the cache of a URL or website in serval situations:
- Make sure you see the latest version of a website: Browsers tend to cache various elements of a website such as images, scripts, and stylesheets to speed up page loading times. However, this can cause the browser to display an outdated version of a website. Clearing the cache ensures that the browser downloads the latest version of all files for the website.
- Resolve website errors: At times, cached data can cause website errors such as broken links or missing images. Clearing the cache can help resolve these issues by forcing the browser to re-download all website resources. If you are a software developer or a UI/UX tester, it could be that you are debugging a bug or a feature.
- Troubleshoot website issues: If a website is not displaying properly or is behaving strangely, clearing the cache can be a useful troubleshooting step. Cached data can sometimes interfere with website functionality, and clearing the cache can help diagnose the issue.
How to clear cache
- Open Safari web browser on your Mac
- Now in the menu go to Safari -> Settings (on macOS Ventura, or Preferences)
- Now move to Privacy tab and click on "Manage Website data..."
- Search for the website/URL that you want to clear the cache.
- Now select your result and click on Remove button
