How to Clear Cache for A Specific Website in Chrome/Firefox and More

Are you stuck in an endless login loop, or are you experiencing slow loading or weird display errors on your favorite website? I know; it's frustrating. But worry no more!

If you don't want to delete your entire history, learning how to clear cache for a specific website is mandatory. Rather than deleting the entire browser history, there are quicker, better, and safer ways to deal with this problem, leaving every saved password and login on every other site untouched.

In this writeup, I'll let you know how to do it manually across different major web browsers on PC and mobile. What's more? I'll also suggest you try our one-click tool, WMaster Cleanup, to automate the process if you are using more than one browser with a single click.

Part 1: Before Clearing Cache for One Website

What You Will Lose?

• It'll remove active sessions, like login credentials of that specific website
• Custom choices will revert to default, like dark theme or language selection
• Your saved data for auto-fill entries for that site

What You Will Keep?

• It'll not delete your saved passwords that are stored separately.
• Your bookmarks and overall browsing history.
• You'll keep your tabs and active sessions on every other website.
• Browser setup, such as extensions and global browser settings, will also stay.

Along with cache removal, if your system is hanging every 15 seconds, temporary files might be the reason behind it. These temp files can pile up silently and take over space on your device. Head to How to clear temp files, no matter what device you're on Windows, PC, or mobile.

When A Hard Fresh is Enough?

If you're experiencing a website giving you a hard time, like it not loading to the newest version properly or showing you the broken layout, go for a hard fresh. This hit will let you pull out the fresh files directly from the web server. On top of that, you can do it without even risking your saved data or active sessions.

• Ctrl + Shift + R for Windows
• Cmd + Shift + R for Mac

When You Need to Remove Site Data Completely?

Even after giving the corrupted website a hard refresh, if you are facing the same issues, knowing how to clear cache and cookies from a specific website becomes non-negotiable, especially when:

• You're dealing with a stubborn login loop or sessions.
• A checkout form on an e-commerce site is not submitting.
• Privacy concern, or if you are using a shared device.

Part 6: FAQs Related to Deleting Cache for A Specific Website

Q1. If I clear the cache for one site, will I be logged out of other sites?

Not at all. Clearing cache and cookies for one domain will only impact that specific site. In all other sites you are actively logging in, cookies, and saved passwords will remain the same; there is no need to sign or re-enter any saved data.

Q2. What is the difference between clearing cache and clearing cookies for a website?

Although both cache and cookies are stored in your device locally, they serve distinct purposes.

Cache:It usually serves for saving visual files, like page layouts, images, stylesheet scripts, and images, helping you to load website data faster

Cookies: It stores specific user data, such as active login status, site preferences, & shopping cart items.

Q3. How can a website appear broken even after clearing its cache?

Sometimes the issue may not be at your end. This may be the server's own cache or a content delivery network that is still serving an old version to all its visitors. After clearing out the cache, you can wait for a while and try to reload the website again.

If the above-mentioned method still doesn't work, leave it as it is; the server will catch up and fix it by itself.

Q4. How often do I need to clear the cache for a particular site?

You should clear the cache for a particular site

• Only when you need to troubleshoot broken layouts, outdated media, or login errors.
• If a website just released a major update or change in design that is not displaying on your screen correctly.

Avoid cache cleanup regularly for websites that are working properly, as it lets your web pages load faster on return visits.

Q5. If I clear the site-specific cache on my PC, will it clear it on my phone as well?

No, it will not. It is because your local cache files & cookies are directly saved on the specific device that you are using.

So, even if you are using the same account on multiple devices, clearing out your PC browser cache won't clear anything on your mobile or tablet.

Final Thoughts

When any specific site acts down, whether it is failing to load new updates, showing a broken layout, or glitching, knowing how to clear cache for a specific website is the fastest fix, saving you to delete your entire history at once.

For Windows, where manual methods take too much time and effort, WMaster Cleanup automates the process, and its Browser History feature clears the cache and cookies for any site across all browsers within a few seconds. Take action now and start downloading WMaster Cleanup to scan and select the site for which you want to delete its cache with one click.
