    Want to clear browser cache but don’t know how to do that? The following blog post will guide you on how to Clear Cache on the browser (All Modern browsers)

    how to clear browser cache

    Whenever there is a problem with a site, the first suggestion you get from technical support is to “try to clear browser cache” accompanied by “try to delete browser cookies.” Most of the time after performing these two things the issues related to the website get fixed.

    What is Browser Cache

    The browser cache is a temporary storage area on your computer or laptop for the files downloaded by your web browser to display sites. The file that goes under browser cache storage includes any document that makes up a website like JavaScript scripts, HTML files, CSS style sheets, graphics images accompanied by multimedia content, and even more.

    Why is Browser Cache Useful?

    So next time you’re going to revisit the site, the browser will check what new content is added to the site in the meantime and download it, or you can say it store the updated content in the browser cache folder. This helps in reducing the bandwidth usage on both server and user sides and lets the web page load faster.

    The browser cache is a useful feature especially when you have a limited or slow internet connection.

    Why Clear Browser cache?

    The browser cache is useful, but sometimes it fills up your hard drive with cache data from the sites which you have visited only once in the week, month, or in your lifetime.

    Apart from that, the cached data of the site can cause annoying issues like it’s not loading the fresh copy of the site, loading the site partially, the site user interface is poorly formatted, and even more.

    Under these circumstances with whom you discuss these browser issues will guide you to clear the cache on the browser. When you clear the browser cache it will not only fixes the website-related issues but also speed up various things.
