So What's the Problem?
Well, if you're like us (a web designer or developer) and often working on the same page, crafting every detail, adjusting sizes, colors, layout..etc. You come across this issue of having to do a (Hard-Refresh) to clear cache, so you get the latest modified version of the page load up. However, this doesn't always clear all the necessary cache. And you are forced to clear browser data.

Empty Cache and Hard Refresh
Select Empty Cache and Hard Refresh. Now Chrome will empty the cache for this spesific page only. Rather than clearing entire browse cache.
