Clear Cache for Current Tab

About

Clear cache for current tab is a lightweight Chrome extension that wipes stored website data and cookies only for the active site in one click. No need to dig through browser settings or affect other pages - this tool works precisely on the origin of whatever you are looking at right now.

If you are a developer, QA engineer, support specialist, or a regular user tired of stale pages and broken sessions, Clear cache for current tab saves you hours every month. Open the popup, pick what to wipe, press Clear, and the page reloads fresh.

✨ Key features:
1️⃣ One-click clear cache for current tab with automatic page refresh
2️⃣ Selective removal of stored files and cookies for the active site only
3️⃣ Live size of stored data and exact cookie counter per website
4️⃣ Keyboard shortcut Alt+X for instant action without opening the popup
5️⃣ Minimalistic UI with light and dark theme support

🎯 Why the per-site approach beats a full browser wipe:
➤ You stay logged in on every other website
➤ Other tabs keep their data, sessions, and preferences
➤ Autofill, history, and saved passwords remain untouched
➤ The action is surgical - only the current origin is affected
➤ Works faster than Chrome Settings → Privacy → Clear browsing data

🔍 What exactly gets removed:
• HTTP cache of the current website
• Cache Storage used by Service Workers on that origin
• Cookies belonging to the active site (optional)
• Partitioned and third-party cookies tied to this origin

That makes it a perfect cache cleaner for modern web apps, single-page applications, and websites that rely on heavy service-worker logic.

💡 Typical use cases:
- Web developers who want a hard reload without opening DevTools
- Designers verifying fresh CSS and JS after a deploy
- QA engineers reproducing bugs on a clean session
- Users fixing login loops, broken carts, or stuck checkout pages
- Anyone who needs a fast clear cache shortcut for the active page

For developers, Clear cache for active tab replaces the tedious right-click → Empty Cache and Hard Reload sequence inside DevTools. Press Alt+X and the page loads fresh, with browser memory bypassed and Service Worker storage wiped automatically.

📊 Transparent data view inside the popup:
➤ Top row shows the real storage usage of the current origin
➤ Second row shows the precise number of cookies set by the site
➤ Settings icon opens a compact panel for reload and shortcut options
➤ No confusing lists of ten obscure data types - only what matters

🔒 Privacy and security:
- The extension does not collect any personal data
- Zero analytics, zero tracking, zero external servers
- All operations run locally inside your Chrome browser
- Permissions are limited to the minimum required to clear cache and cookies

⚙️ Smart behavior of Clear cache for current tab:
1️⃣ Automatically detects the active page and its origin
2️⃣ Warns you on restricted pages like chrome://, Web Store, and extensions
3️⃣ Remembers your last selection between sessions
4️⃣ Reloads the site with bypass so the newest version loads immediately
5️⃣ Shows a visual confirmation when the action succeeds

🌙 Theme options - the UI follows your eyes, not your system. Toggle it from the popup header and your choice is remembered.

❓ Frequently asked questions:

Q: Does this extension affect other websites?
A: No. The action is strictly per-origin. Only the active site loses its stored files and cookies.

Q: Will I be logged out everywhere?
A: Only on the current site, and only if you enable the cookies checkbox. By default cookies are off to protect your sessions.

Q: Can I bind a custom keyboard shortcut?
A: Yes. Open Settings in the popup and click Change to configure your personal clear cache shortcut.
