I want to clear the cache for a specific domain name in Chrome. Is there an extension or other method that I can use to do this?

The problem with this is that it is not as simple to clear the cache as you would think. When a browser caches files, it does so based on its URL. The complication is that many sites share common files like Google API scripts, Gravatar icons, etc. How would you go about clearing the cache for only a specific site? Should the common files it loads be deleted as well (and thus partially clearing the cache for other sites)? Or should they be left intact? (probably the most “correct” solution).

Honestly, none of these answers really "answer" the question for me. These are developer answers. The root question is how a regular person would do this. It would be unreasonable to ask a non-developer to do these things.

Since F12 developer tools is built into Chrome, using them is open to everyone, not just "Developers" for clearing specific items.

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

But does it actually clear the cache for the page or just load it without using the cache? That is, if you open the cache directory, are any files related to that page gone after you reload?

That's a pretty manual way of doing it and can get annoying if you have to do it multiple times. Fortunately there's an easier and faster way: superuser.com/a/598260/83619

Here's how to delete Chrome's cookies selectively by domain or subdomain:

go to chrome://settings/content/cookies

type the domain name in the search box

click delete

More details here:

This can't however select cookies by web folders, e.g. www.domain.com/folder1.

Just to add to the confusion - this worked for me for something that I'm pretty sure is "cache" AND the chrome settings include something called "local storage" so I believe that the term "browser cache" may be too general. My point is that this answer worked for me.

This also worked for me. Sometimes it's necessary to clear both the cache and cookies when you're doing web development with user sessions.

Press control shift i (or
command shift i on OS X) to open
Dev Tools.

Right-click the reload button next to the address bar.

Choose: "Empty Cache and Hard Reload".

Wrench -> Preferences -> Under the Hood -> 

Use DNS pre-fetching to improve page load performance

Disable it - thus dumping the whole application cache - reload the affected page - and then re-enable. If this happens often or doesn't clear the issue, some cache upstream from chrome is the problem and you should probably leave chrome's disabled.

Selective invalidation of an application layer cache (which is done strictly for application speed) since chrome has "no business" taking over for the system is might be an answer to some issue, but it isn't a very good answer.

(Lest you get huffy about my "no business" statement, I use pre-fetching myself as I like the zippiness, proper or not)

Despite your parenthetical objections and the correctness of your solution, I'm huffy anyway.

This answer is incorrect. Disabling DNS prefetching does not clear Chrome's HTTP cache.

In three steps:

F12 (open developer tools)

F1 (go to settings)

Under Preferences / Network uncheck Disable cache (while DevTools is open)

Note that you can un-dock the DevTools if you would rather keep them as a separate window while open.

Deleting the history entries will work in many cases: (Mac)

Cmd+Y (Open History)

Search for your domain

Check all the entries. Unfortunately there's no check all button at the moment. You don't have to click the checkboxes though, clicking on the time works too.

Click Remove selected items

Webpack was caching a previous project for me and I need parts of the caching to work so I couldn't use incognito. The top 3 solutions didn't work for my case. What did work and was quick enough to implement was clicking Resources tab in Developer tools, unfolding Cache Storage, and right-clicking to delete the cached data.

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.

Try having the Developer Toolbar open first - hit F12 (or CMD+SHIFT+C for Console). I haven't tested on a Mac.

no worries. this solution is just faster than the selected answer, and less drastic than just disabling the cache altogether. I feel this needs to be up the top, and the only way it'll get upvotes is if people test it and it works for them

Use right-click on GNU/Linux to open the pop-up menu instead of a long click.

Here's how to delete Chrome's cookies selectively by domain or subdomain:

go to chrome://settings/content/cookies

type the domain name in the search box

click delete

More details here:

This can't however select cookies by web folders, e.g. www.domain.com/folder1.

Just to add to the confusion - this worked for me for something that I'm pretty sure is "cache" AND the chrome settings include something called "local storage" so I believe that the term "browser cache" may be too general. My point is that this answer worked for me.

This also worked for me. Sometimes it's necessary to clear both the cache and cookies when you're doing web development with user sessions.

In three steps:

F12 (open developer tools)

F1 (go to settings)

Under Preferences / Network uncheck Disable cache (while DevTools is open)

Note that you can un-dock the DevTools if you would rather keep them as a separate window while open.

Deleting the history entries will work in many cases: (Mac)

Cmd+Y (Open History)

Search for your domain

Check all the entries. Unfortunately there's no check all button at the moment. You don't have to click the checkboxes though, clicking on the time works too.
