How to Clear Browser Cache for Different Browsers
What is browser cache and why do I need to clear it?
Your browser will automatically store (cache) temporary website database files when you have recently visited a site to avoid having to load the content each time, making your browsing experience run smoother and faster. However, it can become an issue when changes are made to a site, and your browser is still caching the older version.
