How to Clear Your Browser's Cache

Clearing your browser cache is often necessary to see the most recent updates to a website, especially after changes have been made by a web developer. If you’re seeing outdated content or things aren’t loading correctly, clearing your cache is a good first step.

What exactly is caching you may ask?

When you visit a website, your browser saves (or “caches”) parts of the site like images, CSS, and JavaScript files to help it load faster on your next visit. Sometimes, this cached data can prevent you from seeing recent updates to a website.

Note: All your browsing and login data will likely be deleted with this operation, you will need to re-enter passwords for various websites you are using.
