Debug

Clear cache and cookies without leaving the page

Hoverify's Debug panel holds the four jobs that interrupt everything else: clearing browsing data for the site you're on, injecting code that sticks, re-encoding the page's images and auditing it for accessibility.

Clear browsing data

Drop one site's data, not your whole session

Cache, cookies, local storage, history and downloads each get their own checkbox. A scope selector decides whether the clear hits the site in front of you or all of them, and a time range decides how far back it reaches.

This site or all of them. Sign out of one domain and stay signed in everywhere else you had open.

Five types, five ranges. Cache, cookies, local storage, history and downloads, over the last hour, day, week, month or all time.

Reload on clear. Tick Refresh page and the tab reloads the moment the clear finishes.

The rest of the panel

Three more tools that save a round trip

Each one replaces a detour: out to an image compressor, into a userscript manager, over to an accessibility checker.

Custom Code keeps a named snippet per site and re-applies it on every visit until you switch it off. CSS arrives wrapped in a style tag, so a one-line fix stays fixed.

More on custom code

Optimize Images re-encodes what the page loaded as WebP, JPEG or PNG at a quality you pick, and can resize each one to the size it's actually displayed at.

More on optimizing images

Accessibility runs axe-core against the page you're on and groups what it finds by severity, with contrast failures carrying a suggested colour that passes. It reaches staging behind a login, which a URL-based checker can't.

love this extension, latest update had a minor bug but was fixed very quickly by dev. Has been super reliable for us at nearly a daily use.

Incredible app for web designers! Wow!! I'm really impressed, it combined a ton of other tools I was using. So happy I found this.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question we haven't answered? Get in touch.

What can it clear?

Cache, cookies, local storage, browsing history and your download list, each with its own checkbox so you only clear what you meant to. Tick Refresh page and the tab reloads as soon as the clear finishes.

Can I clear just the last hour instead of everything?

Yes. The time range runs Last 1 hour, Last 24 hours, Last 7 days, Last 30 days or All time, and in Chrome it applies to every type you tick, cache included. It defaults to All time, so a clear never quietly does less than you expected. Firefox is the one difference, and it's Mozilla's rather than ours: its extension API ignores time ranges when clearing cache and empties the whole thing, which no extension can work around.

Can I clear data for just one site?

Yes. The scope selector offers the site you're currently on or all sites, so you can drop one domain's cookies and local storage without signing out of everything else you had open. That's the part Chrome's own settings make awkward.

Isn't this just a hard refresh?

A hard refresh handles the cache on the page in front of you. This goes further: it drops the cookies and local storage for one site while every other tab stays signed in, and clears the download list and browsing history alongside them. A keyboard shortcut reaches none of that.

What does Optimize Images do?

It takes the images on the page and re-encodes them, as WebP, JPEG, PNG or whatever it judges best on Auto, at a quality you set. It can also resize them to the size they're actually displayed at, or twice that for retina, and it shows the original and optimized totals side by side so you can see what the page would save.

What is Custom Code for?

Persistent per-site tweaks. Write a snippet, name it, list the hosts it should run on, and Hoverify re-applies it on every visit until you switch it off. It's injected as HTML, so CSS goes in wrapped in a style tag. Handy for hiding a nag banner, fixing an unreadable font or testing a copy change on a live site.

Does the accessibility audit live here too?

It does. The Accessibility tool runs axe-core against the page you're on and reports violations by severity, contrast failures with suggested fixes, and the heading and landmark structure. There's a full page about the accessibility checker.

Does it work in Firefox?

Yes. Every tool runs in the Firefox build; it carries an experimental label because Chromium gets fixes and new features first. Chrome is the fully supported browser, along with Chromium forks like Edge and Brave.

Is it free?

It comes with Hoverify, which is paid and carries a 14-day refund policy, so trying it properly leaves you no worse off. There's no separate trial build. One license runs in 3 browsers at a time and nothing auto-renews. See the pricing.

For web developers

Stop leaving the tab to do small things

Clearing a cookie, hiding a banner or checking a contrast ratio are all one panel away from the page they apply to, next to the CSS inspector and the screenshot tools.
