Clear cache for one—and only one—webpage

Faculty who have been around learning management systems (LMSs) for any amount of time know that sometimes gunk builds up in the browser cogs resulting in some page in the LMS not working as expected. If it’s something that worked before but is suddenly not working now, the first thing tech support will tell you to do is clear your browser’s cache.

But why clear the cache for every website you’ve ever visited when it’s just this one particular LMS page that’s giving you fits?

You can clear the cache of one Chrome or Firefox webpage with a keyboard shortcut. Windows and Linux users: CTRL+F5. Mac users: CMD+SHIFT+R.

Test out your new-found powers here.
