# How to Clear Browser Cache in All Browsers

**In short:** The cache is a copy of website files your browser stores so pages open faster. To clear it in Chrome, Edge or Firefox on Windows press **Ctrl + Shift + Delete** (on Mac **Command + Shift + Delete**), choose **All time**, tick **Cached images and files**, and click clear. In Safari go to Settings, then Privacy, then Manage Website Data.

## When do you need to clear the cache?

- You changed your website but the changes do not show.
- A page looks broken, incomplete or will not load.
- After moving your site to new hosting or changing domain settings.
- When you see loading errors such as ["Please unblock challenges.cloudflare.com to proceed"](https://www.hyyat.com/en/knowledgebase/fix-please-unblock-challenges-cloudflare-com/).

**Quick fix before a full clear:** try a hard refresh: **Ctrl + F5** on Windows or **Command + Shift + R** on Mac. This reloads the current page from the website, bypassing the cache.

## Clear the cache in Google Chrome

1. Press **Ctrl + Shift + Delete** (Windows) or **Command + Shift + Delete** (Mac), or from the menu (⋮) choose **Delete browsing data**.
2. Set **Time range** to **All time**.
3. Tick **Cached images and files**. Tick **Cookies** too only if you want to sign out of websites.
4. Click **Delete data**.

## Clear the cache in Microsoft Edge

1. Press **Ctrl + Shift + Delete**, or from the menu (…) go to **Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Clear browsing data**.
2. Set **Time range** to **All time**.
3. Tick **Cached images and files**.
4. Click **Clear now**.

## Clear the cache in Mozilla Firefox

1. Press **Ctrl + Shift + Delete** (Windows) or **Command + Shift + Delete** (Mac).
2. Set the time range to **Everything**.
3. Tick **Temporary cached files and pages** (Cache).
4. Click **Clear**.

## Clear the cache in Safari on Mac

1. From the top menu choose **Safari → Settings** (Preferences in older versions).
2. Open the **Privacy** tab and click **Manage Website Data**.
3. Click **Remove All**, then **Remove Now**.

To clear only the cache without cookies: enable the **Develop** menu in Settings → Advanced, then press **Option + Command + E**.

## Clear the cache on mobile

- **Chrome on Android or iPhone:** from the menu (⋮) choose **History → Delete browsing data** and tick **Cached images and files**.
- **Safari on iPhone:** open **Settings → Safari → Clear History and Website Data**.

## Cache vs. cookies

The **cache** stores copies of images and files to speed up websites; clearing it is safe and does not sign you out. **Cookies** keep you signed in and remember your preferences; clearing them signs you out of websites.
