In this guide, you will find instructions on how to clear the cache of a web browser.

Browser cache is a temporary storage area in memory or on disk that contains recently downloaded web pages. When you navigate between different websites, storing these pages locally allows you to return to them quickly without having to download them again from the internet. To ensure that the most up-to-date version of a page is displayed, the browser compares the cached page with the current version on the website. If the page has not changed, the cached version is displayed immediately. If the page has changed, the new version is downloaded, displayed, and stored in the cache.

Clearing them fixes certain problems, like loading or formatting issues on sites.
