Clearing the Safari cache on a Mac, not the history

One site keeps loading a broken version of itself. I want to clear only the cached files, not my history or saved logins. Is that possible in Safari settings?

And if it's only one page acting up, Option+Cmd+R reloads it fresh from the site instead of from the cache. Quicker than emptying everything.

Turn on the developer menu in Safari settings, Advanced tab (on newer versions it's worded as show features for web developers). A Develop menu appears in the menu bar and Empty Caches is in there, or Option+Command+E. Leaves your history and logins alone.
