What is a Cache?
A cache is a storage tool used by your web browser to speed up the loading of pages. It stores files such as images, scripts, and other elements from websites you've visited. However, cached files can sometimes cause issues, especially when websites are updated. If these saved files conflict with the latest version of the site, it can result in errors or outdated content being displayed.
Why Should I Clear My Browser Cache?
Clearing your browser cache can resolve several issues. It helps ensure that the latest version of a website loads properly, especially when a site has been updated or changed. Regularly clearing the cache can also improve page loading speeds and enhance your computer's performance by freeing up space that may otherwise be taken up by unnecessary files.
