Stage 1: Definition

1. Feature overview

Approximately 20% of SUMO questions are about websites not working or loading and can be fixed by:

• Clearing the cache and reloading
• Clearing the cache, cookies and reloading
• Resetting the zoom level

Performing these operations can be a multi-step process that includes difficult to discover secondary UI (e.g. Clear Recent History).

Since clearing cookies can some undesirable side effects (logging you out, clearing shopping carts, etc.), this feature focuses on clearing the cache, resetting the zoom level and reloading the page.

What this feature would do:

• Change the Shift-Reload functionality to include clearing the cache for the current domain (e.g. *.google.com), resetting the zoom level and reloading the page - a sort of "super-reload".
• Change the look of the reload button when shift in held down.
• Do this "super-reload" automatically when a user clicks reload 3 times in a short time span.

2. Users & use cases

• Cached files preventing page from loading or updating.
• User has inadvertently changed the page zoom level.
