The first thing which always comes to our mind when we come across such issues is refreshing the page. Reloading the site might work if the ERR_CACHE_MISS error shows up due to issues in network connectivity and changes, or something on similar lines.

Step 1: Click on the rightmost button (with three dots) on the chrome browser.
Step 2: Go to More Tools and go to Clear Browsing Data.
Step 3: Select the Time Range and the options available under the “Basic.”
Step 4: Similarly, switch over to the “Advanced” section and then select the appropriate options.
Step 5: Click on the “Clear Data” button.
On completion of the above action, browsing data will get cleared, leading to issue resolution.
Note: The above action and steps may differ depending on the type of Operating System installed on different PCs and laptops. These steps are all written down for Windows 8 OS.
The above procedure should work if garbage data storage is causing the ERR_CACHE_MISS error to occur. However, if that is not the case, there may be some more causes and resolutions to the same.

Step 2: Go to More Tools and then go to Extensions.
