What Exactly Is Cache?

Your browser's cache, pronounced like cash, is a collection of web pages, including the text, images, and most other media contained on them, that is stored on your machine.

Having a local copy of a web page makes for very quick loading on your next visit because your computer or device doesn't have to download all of that same information again from the internet.

 

The easiest way to clear your cache is by pressing CTRL + F5 together on your keyboard.

 

On Windows

On your keyboard, F5 triggers a standard reload.

Ctrl + F5 triggers a forced reload. This causes the browser to re-download the page from the web server, ensuring that it always has the latest copy.

Unlike with F5, a forced reload does not display a cached copy of the page.

On Mac

On your keyboard, CMD(Apple) + R triggers a standard reload.

CMD(Apple) + SHIFT + R triggers a forced reload. This causes the browser to re-download the page from the web server, ensuring that it always has the latest copy.

Unlike Firefox and Chrome, Safari Requires CMD(Apple) + Option + E to empty the browser cache

In Google Chrome, clearing the cache is done via the Clear browsing data area in Settings. From there, check Cached images and files (as well as anything else you want to remove) and then tap or click the CLEAR BROWSING DATA button.

Assuming you're using a keyboard, the quickest way to Clear browsing data is via the Ctrl+Shift+Del keyboard shortcut.

Without a keyboard, tap or click the Menu button (the icon with three stacked dots) followed by More tools and finally, Clear browsing data...

See How to Clear the Cache in Chrome [support.google.com] for more details.

In Chrome's mobile browser, go to Settings and then Privacy. From there, choose Clear Browsing Data. Check Cached Images and Files in this menu and press the Clear Browsing Data button once and then again when asked.

Another option is via the Tools button (the gear icon), followed by Safety and then Delete browsing history...
