How to clear Network Cache using JavaScript without refreshing page

Question

I am using setInterval to call Rest API's from my web page in about every 60 seconds. Now it is making request and hogging Network with too much request due to which after sometime my page becomes slow and non-responsive.

Can anyone help me out about how to clear Network Tab cache in Dev tools without refreshing page. P.S. I don't want to clear all of Cache just the Network cache after 5 min.

I don't want to clear the app cache, just Network cache only. — Asnau Nauticas

how about exploring websocket? the change may be big but i think that is better. Else you can change the interval in setInterval to some higher value. Another thing you can do is use of promise. Call the rest api only when current one is done. You can check ` Promise resolve` — brk

You cam use caches.delete(cacheName).

caches.keys().then(function(names) {
    for (let name of names)
        caches.delete(name);
});

But it is not supported in IE. For more details and browser supports, check here

Do Network Cache has some sort of cacheName? Because I dont think it has.

Cache can not exist without name. Check developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/instant-and-offline/…
