Laravel clear cache without artisan

Its not possible with shared hosting servers to access SSH there relying on artisan commands to clear, remove or delete cache in Laravel. However, there is one more trick in my book, and that is incorporating THE Artisan::call() method within the routes/web.php file with given below methods.

As you can see, how much simple is that:

// Remove route cache
Route::get('/clear-route-cache', function() {
    $exitCode = Artisan::call('route:cache');
    return 'All routes cache has just been removed';
});
//Remove config cache
Route::get('/clear-config-cache', function() {
    $exitCode = Artisan::call('config:cache');
    return 'Config cache has just been removed';
}); 
// Remove application cache
Route::get('/clear-app-cache', function() {
    $exitCode = Artisan::call('cache:clear');
    return 'Application cache has just been removed';
});
// Remove view cache
Route::get('/clear-view-cache', function() {
    $exitCode = Artisan::call('view:clear');
    return 'View cache has jut been removed';
});
