Clear cache for specific domain name in chrome

UPDATE: As of Chrome version 52.0.2743.116 m, you can perform the following steps:

F12 > Chrome Developer Tools > Application tab > Clear storage in left tree > Select the data items to clear, then click Clear site data.


This may be a quicker/simpler way:

  • Press F12 to open Chrome Developer Tools (will pop up from bottom)
  • Click settings "gear" icon in top-right corner
  • Under General check Disable cache
  • Reload page and re-enable caching by un-checking this box

After opening up the developer tools (usually by pressing F12) Click + Hold on the "Reload Page" button. From the popup list, choose "Empty Cache and Hard Reload".

Not sure this clears the cache for the entire domain. But probably satisfies 90% of the use cases of people that visit this SE question.

Note: In some cases this will NOT open the popup list. This is because the page isn't cached at that time, so the menu is not invoked.
