Open routes/web.php and paste these lines:

// clear application cache
Route::get('/clear-cache', function() {
    $exitCode = Artisan::call('cache:clear');
    return 'Application cache cleared';
});

 // clear route cache
 Route::get('/route-cache', function() {
    $exitCode = Artisan::call('route:cache');
    return 'Routes cache cleared';
});

// clear config cache
Route::get('/config-cache', function() {
    $exitCode = Artisan::call('config:cache');
    return 'Config cache cleared';
});
