How do I clear the browser cache?

68 views 0 April 1, 2022 Updated on February 24, 2023 Websetgo Administrator

The internet uses caching technology at every level to speed up the exchange of constant data that is regularly used (for examples websites).

There are worldwide content deliver network that circle the planet storing duplicates of websites (or data). This allows users from any country to access website much faster.

Your browsers (Chrome, Firefox, and Edge) on all your devices (desktop, laptop, tablet, mobile) have caches that store the webpages you regularly view. Typically your browser cache stores text, logos, graphics and images for weeks.

Cache’s present a big problem when the website (or data) is updated. Cache’s take time to update (sometimes days). Browsers can be stuck with old information until they are manually cleared.

While we can clear our network caches after we make changes to a website. We have no control over the browser caches on your computers and devices. You need to clear these caches.

Resources for clearing caches on different devices and browsers:

Whenever you request an change to your website. You need to clear the cache.

To save being charged for an unnecessary support request, we recommend manually clearing the cache and history, using incognito or private viewing modes on your browser, and testing your website on an unused browser or device.
