Have you ever experienced that when you visit any website online, then the first time when you visited that website more time was taken by that site in loading and when you became a conditions visitor of that site the time to load that site decreases?

Why this all happens?

It is all because of the cache.

What is a Cache?

When you visit any site online more than once, its copy is saved in the cache and when you again want to visit that site the copy from cache makes it possible for you to show it in less time.

  • Thus for faster performance cache comes into play.
  • Things that your browser save in cache include images(logos), HTML, CSS and JavaScript scripts
  • Mostly those things are stored in a cache that is considered to be static, i.e., that is not meant to change with time. A good example of this is the site’s logo.; it remains permanent most of the time.
  • It is same on almost every other page of the site, whether it be the homepage, contact us page, about us page, shop page or the blog page.
  • One more thing you would have come across is that whenever you load any site, the text appears the first and then the images, this is because the size of the text is smaller than the pictures and takes less time to be downloaded

If you know what cached data is, then you must also know how to clear it. It can slow down your device also because of much storage.

You can clear the cache data from your browser quite easily. But the method to do is different in every browser.

You can quickly clear it from any browser,w whether it be chrome, Firefox, internet explorer or, opera or safari

Clearing Cache

You must clear it because there may be a copy of the site in your case that’s old, and the site was updated after that, so if your cache is not cleared it will show the older version no matter how much update the site is
