️ /”Clear your browser cache/” is the first thing to try when you encounter webpage problems. I’ll look at why and how to clear your cache.

️ The browser cache
Web browsers assume the internet is slow. Since many websites use the same elements (like logos) on multiple pages, browsers download them only on the first encounter, so they need not be downloaded every time. The cache is where these downloaded elements are kept. Sometimes the browser loses track of what’s in the cache, resulting in display problems. Each browser allows you to clear the cache to start over, hopefully resolving those issues.
