Clear Cache in Laravel (Browser)
Most of the shared hosting providers don’t provide SSH access to the systems. In that case, you can clear the Laravel cache by calling the URL in the browser. You can simply place the below code in your routes/web.php file of the Laravel application. Then access this URL in the browser to clear the cache of the Laravel application.
Route::get('/clear-cache', function() {
Artisan::call('cache:clear');
return "Cache is cleared";
});
