HTTP Cache
Clears the browser's main network cache. The most common culprit.
Chrome Extension · Free to install
Cache cleared.
Sanity restored.
The one-click cache tool anyone can use — built for everyone, tuned for developers. Profile presets, keyboard shortcuts, and sessionStorage clearing Chrome's standard controls don't expose.

Stop fighting your cache.
You ship a change. Reload. Still the old version. Hard reload. Same thing. You dig through Chrome menus, clear cache manually, reload again. Five minutes gone. Now multiply that by every debugging session, every localhost test, every "why isn't this updating?" across staging and production.
CacheSweeper clears everything you've selected in one action — a click or a keyboard shortcut. No menus. No friction. Back to shipping.
Simple by design
One action. Clean state.
Step 01
Click or press Ctrl+Shift+X
Trigger a clear from the toolbar icon or the keyboard shortcut, without leaving your current tab.
Step 02
Your profile does the work
Each profile remembers exactly what to clear — Default handles everyday cleanup, Localhost runs a deeper developer reset. Premium can switch profiles by domain automatically.
Step 03
Fresh page, clean state
Tab reloads with a clean slate. No cached assets, no stale state, no surprises.

Questions
Frequently asked.
CacheSweeper works on any http:// or https:// page. It cannot run on Chrome's own pages (chrome://, about:, etc.) due to browser security restrictions — same as every other extension.
No. CacheSweeper never touches passwords, form autofill, download history, or browsing history. It clears developer storage (cache, localStorage, IndexedDB, cookies) — nothing else unless you explicitly enable it.
Ctrl+Shift+X on Windows/Linux, Cmd+Shift+X on Mac. You can change it in Chrome at chrome://extensions/shortcuts.
CacheSweeper comes with two profiles pre-configured: Default (applies to all sites) and Localhost (applies to localhost and 127.0.0.1). You can switch between them from the right-click context menu or the options page.
To clear storage for whatever site you're on. The <all_urls> permission lets the extension inject a script to clear in-memory localStorage and sessionStorage on the active tab. It doesn't read your data — only clears it.
sessionStorage is scoped to the current tab and normally lasts for the page session — but it can survive reloads and hard refreshes, preserving stale auth tokens or UI state. Chrome's standard browsing-data controls don't expose it, so CacheSweeper clears it directly from the active tab.
That's Chrome, not CacheSweeper. When you're signed in to Chrome itself, Google automatically refreshes the cookies that keep your Google Account signed in — even Chrome's own Clear Browsing Data works this way. Every other site signs out normally. To sign out of Google too, sign out of Chrome first, or turn off "Allow Chrome sign-in" in Chrome's settings.
The free tier is genuinely full-featured — install it, use it daily, and upgrade only if you need sessionStorage, scheduled clearing, or unlimited profiles. No trial nag, no free-tier popups.
