What is a Cache? Why do I need to clear or refresh this?
A cache is a space on your device, where your browser saves copies of web pages you’ve previously visited, or items you have downloaded such as photos. When you try to revisit those pages, or retrieve those items, the browser will look in the cache to see if there is a copy there already. If there is, it will pull up this saved version, to speed up your search.
In some situations, you’ll want to see a brand new version of the page or item, rather than the saved version from your cache. To do this, you will need to clear or refresh your browser’s cache first. How you do this, will depend upon what browser and device you are using. Click the image to select your browser
