ERR_CACHE_MISS

Quick answer

ERR_CACHE_MISS appears when Chrome needs to resend form data, usually after you press Back or refresh on a page with a form. Reload the page, confirm resubmission only if safe, clear cache, and disable extensions.

What does “ERR_CACHE_MISS” mean?

Chrome did not have a cached copy of the page and needs to send the form again.

What causes it?

  • Using Back or Refresh after submitting a form
  • Corrupted cache
  • Browser extension conflict

Steps to try

Stop when the issue is resolved.

  1. Press F5 and choose Continue only if resubmitting is safe (not a payment).
  2. Clear cached images and files (Ctrl + Shift + Delete).
  3. Disable extensions and test.
  4. Update Chrome.
