Clear Specific Website Cache in Safari on macOS 13
Clearing the cache for a single website in Safari on macOS 13 Ventura allows you to resolve loading errors, display glitches, and outdated page content without losing login sessions or history across the rest of your browser. This targeted approach isolates the problematic domain and removes its stored temporary files, cookies, and local database entries while keeping the remainder of your browsing data intact.
Steps to Clear Data for a Specific Website
Follow these steps to locate and remove stored cache and data for an individual site:
- Open Safari on your Mac running macOS 13.
- Click Safari in the menu bar at the top-left corner of the screen.
- Select Settings... from the drop-down menu (or
press
Command + ,). - In the settings window, click the Privacy tab.
- Click the Manage Website Data... button.
- Use the Search field in the top-right corner of the sheet to enter the domain or name of the website you want to clear.
- Click the website in the results list to highlight it.
- Click the Remove button at the bottom of the window. (Do not click "Remove All", as that will delete data for every site).
- Click Done to close the Website Data window.
- Close the Settings window and refresh the target website to reload fresh data from the server.
Troubleshooting After Removal
If the website still does not display correctly after removing its data:
- Force Reload the Page: Hold down the
Shiftkey and click the Reload button in Safari's address bar to bypass any lingering temporary system cache. - Quit and Relaunch: Press
Command + Qto fully quit Safari, then reopen it to ensure all active memory allocations for that domain are terminated.
