We have had numerous issues over the last year or two with Hubspot CMS lacking the ability to flush the cache (and force the refresh of some files).
We have recently made some changes to our site CSS to get around on iOS issue not rendering text.
WordPress’ Admin COnsole has an option to flush the cache. It would be awesome if we had this ability on the Hubspot CMS as well.

@AndrewinKC there is a small trick that has worked about 85% of the time for me over the last few years (and has worked every time more recently) to reset the server cache in HubSpot.
This article has the steps, hope it helps with what you need until the option is available.
I agree that this would be helpful. We are stuck with an issue while implementing a new cookie service and could handle it better if we could get the page header to load as expected!
Yes this woudl be incredibly helpfull! For me the solution described by @Jnix284 works like 50% of time…
This seems like a no-brainer. If Hubspot wants to compete on the CMS - Website hosting state, this is 101-type functionality. When trying to make changes, or even fix an issue, clearing the cache is so important. Simple button, clear cache, done… Can be located under the Content / Pages section where we put code snippets in the header/footer
Would definately help alot especially when updating several pages at once.
It’s incredibly frustrating that this is a paid CMS and it’s features are so lacking to other CMS and hosting providers. @Jnix284’s solution used to work for me, but the last few months, it’s been successful less than 50% of the time and frankly, I’m tired of needing “tricks” to get Hubspot to do the most basic of tasks.
This is an absolute MUST-have. I used to rely on a handy Chrome extension called HubSpot Developer Tools to flush page cache, but it is sadly no longer supported. We may just be forced to move our landing pages off of HubSpot if we can’t find a solution for this.
PLEASE. This would be so helpful. Another super basic functionality (at least on other CMS’s) that isn’t possible on Hubspot.
Strong thumbs up to having this.
Adding “?hsDebug=true&hsCacheBuster” without the quotation marks to the end of the URL seems to work for me as a workaround. Hope this helps someone else!
Would be very helpful. Website editing takes a very long time at the moment, to wait for new adjustments to be checked.
I’m also upvoting this.
I’m having trouble ensuring that the changes I’ve made to a HubDB table are accurately reflected on the website. It’s critical to my customer because the database contains the sales personnel’s contact details (which have been updated). Without cache clearing, all relevant information doesn’t seem to be updating on the website as changes are made.
Any update on this product team? Caching seems to last longer and longer now.
Absolutely agree. Clearing does seem to be taking a lot longer recently.
I used to be able to dev on landing page templates no problem, and see changes as soon as I would save the template.
Now I have to wait over 10 minutes to see a change. I did find a hack to this, by changing the url of a landing page while I’m in dev mode. But it’s ridiculous to be working like this. We need to find a way to be able to dev a template page in the hubl/html code without having to wait or changing URL. I tried all the added trailing URL techniques, but nothing works …com/page?v=123
Same.
If you are a developer and are doing frequent changes I recommend using this Chrome extension - https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/simple-hubspot-developer/ocemlldjbjmmoippekbdcbcmcimoffhg - This doesn’t publicly clear the cache (your boss/client will still see the old code).
To publicy clear the cache , the article linked by @Jnix284 is the correct thing to follow. Adding a space wasn’t working for me on the blog post. So I tried an HTML comment and that worked for me.
A list of other helpful developer tips like this can be found in this article.
Thanks!
It’s crazy that this is still an issue with Hubspot. (sigh)
The amount of time wasted waiting for a page to update without a flush cache option is silly!
@hubspot any plans on implementing a clear cache option somewhere?
