Google Chrome Disable Browser Cache

google chrome disable browser cache I am modifying a site's appearance (CSS modifications) but can't see the result on Chrome because of annoying persistent cache. I tried Shift+refresh but it doesn't work.

How can I disable the cache temporarily or refresh the page in some way that I could see the changes?

Solution

he Chrome DevTools can disable the cache.

F12 or Right-click and Inspect Element to open the DevTools. Now click Network in the toolbar. Finally, check the Disable cache checkbox at the top.

Keep in mind, and as a tweet from @ChromiumDev stated, this setting is only active while devtools is open.

Solution 2

• Pull up the Chrome developer console by pressing F12 and then (with the console open):
• Right click (or hold left click) on the reload button at the top of the browser and select "Empty Cache and Hard Reload."
• This will go beyond "Hard Reload" to empty the cache entirely, ensuring that anything downloaded via javascript or etc. will also avoid using the cache. You don't have to mess with settings or anything, it's a quick 1-shot solution.
