How to Clear DNS Cache

DNS cache stores IP addresses for websites you've visited. If a site changes servers before your cache updates, clearing DNS forces your device to fetch fresh routing information.

Windows

  1. Open the Start menu.
  2. Search for Command Prompt, right-click it, and select Run as Administrator.
  3. Run this command:
ipconfig /flushdns

macOS

  1. Open Applications > Utilities > Terminal.
  2. Run the command below and enter your administrator password if prompted.
sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder

Linux

Open a terminal and use the command that matches your distribution.

sudo systemd-resolve --flush-caches
sudo service nscd restart

Android

  1. Open Settings > Network & Internet.
  2. Tap Private DNS.
  3. Switch it off, save, then switch back to automatic.
  4. Restart your device if the issue continues.

Still not working?

Run a fresh website check after clearing DNS to see whether the problem is local or global.
