How do I clear cache and history on Safari?

There are a couple of situations where you might benefit from clearing Safari’s cache.

If a site you regularly frequent has elements that have stopped working, or if a site has stopped loading completely, there may be a conflict between an older version of it that Safari has cached and a newer one.

Or perhaps you simply want to protect your privacy by wiping the slate clean and removing all the data associated with websites you’ve visited. Either way, here’s how it’s done on macOS and iOS.

How to Clear Safari’s Cache on Mac

  1. Launch Safari browser on your Mac.
  2. Select Safari -> Preferences…
  3. Click the Privacy tab and select Manage Website Data…
  4. Select a website that is listed, then click Remove. To remove all website data from Safari, click Remove All.
