How to Clear Your Cache for Whistic

  • Updated

Table of Contents

There are times where clearing the cache for Whistic can resolve some negative experiences that you are having while using our platform. We understand that some users are a bit hesitant to clear cache for ALL websites as it can be troublesome in some circumstances. Below is how to utilize the "inspect" page feature in various web browsers to clear the cache for Whistic specifically. This method is particularly useful for advanced users who want to ensure they're seeing the latest version of a website without clearing their entire browser cache.

Note: If you are hesitant to clear your cache but are experiencing an issue or Support needs you to test something on your end, you can also open an Incognito / Private browsing window in your browser which will also help avoid any caching errors.

🌐 Google Chrome

  • Navigate to Our Website
    • Open Chrome and go to the specific page on our website where you're experiencing issues.
  • Open Developer Tools
    • Right-click anywhere on the page and select "Inspect", or press Ctrl+Shift+I (Windows) or Cmd+Opt+I (Mac).
  • Go to the Application Tab
    • In the Developer Tools window, click on the "Application" tab at the top.
  • Clear Site Data
    • In the left sidebar, under the "Application" section, click on "Clear storage". You'll see options to clear site data, including cache.
  • Click "Clear Site Data"
    • After selecting what you want to clear (make sure "Cached images and files" is checked), click on the "Clear site data" button at the bottom.

🦊 Mozilla Firefox

  • Navigate to Our Website
    • Open Firefox and go to the specific page on our website.
  • Open Web Developer Tools
    • Right-click on the page and choose "Inspect Element", or press Ctrl+Shift+I (Windows) or Cmd+Opt+I (Mac).
  • Access the Network Tab
    • Click on the "Network" tab in the Developer Tools window.
  • Reload and Clear Cache
    • Press Ctrl+Shift+R (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+R (Mac) to reload the page while bypassing the cache. This doesn't permanently clear the cache but ensures you're viewing the latest content.

🧭 Safari (macOS)

Safari's developer tools also allow cache clearing through the inspect element, but the process is more about bypassing the cache rather than clearing it specifically for one site.

  • Enable Developer Menu
    • Go to Safari > Preferences > Advanced and check the box at the bottom that says "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
  • Navigate to Our Website and choose "Develop" in the menu bar.
  • Empty Caches
    • Click on "Empty Caches". You can also use the shortcut Option+Cmd+E. This will clear the cache but is less targeted than doing so through website settings.

💻 Microsoft Edge

  • Navigate to Our Website
    • Open Edge and go to the specific page on our website.
  • Open Developer Tools
    • Right-click on the page and select "Inspect", or press F12.
  • Application Tab
    • Similar to Chrome, go to the "Application" tab.
  • Clear Site Data
    • On the left, under "Clear storage", select what you want to clear and then click on "Clear site data".

Final Thoughts

Using the inspect element method to clear cache for our website allows for a more targeted approach, useful when you're troubleshooting specific issues. This method gives you the flexibility to refresh only the elements you need without affecting your overall browsing experience. If you encounter any difficulties or need further guidance, our support team is here to help at support@whistic.com.

Note: If experiencing any weird issues on the platform, we recommend to try opening Whistic in an Incognito / Private browsing window to try to rule out any caching errors.
