The first method is quite straightforward and helps you clear the cookies and cache of any website immediately.

The second method takes a bit long but has its uses, such as instances where you must clear cached data across a group of related websites.

You can then load the most recent instance of the site and (hopefully) resolve any issues you encountered.

If you are logged into the site, you will have to sign back after clearing the cached data.
