README

This module clears the local browser cache once per unique visitor. It does so by send a Clear-Site-Data response header with a value of "cache", and sets a cookie called BrowserCacheCleared to prevent the header from being sent again.

Requirements

This plugin requires Craft CMS 4.0.0 or later, or 5.0.0 or later.

Installation

Install this module via composer.

composer require putyourlightson/craft-clear-browser-cache

Once installed, the module self-bootstraps and does not require any further setup.

Configuration

The module is configured to run only until a cut-off date, which is set to 2026-01-01 by default. After that date, the module will have no effect. This value can be overridden by setting a CLEAR_BROWSER_CACHE_CUTOFF_DATE environment variable in your .env file.

CLEAR_BROWSER_CACHE_CUTOFF_DATE=2025-09-01
