How to clear the cache in different browsers?

Most browsing problems on the Internet, as a rule, can be solved simply and independently, without involving qualified specialists in the matter. Do not panic if you have trouble updating the pages, but just find out how to clear your browser's cache .

When there are no changes on the pages of the site, even when you made any changes (by adding an image, changing the style, color, etc.), just refresh the page by pressing F5 on the keyboard, or clear the browser's cache.

For those who first encountered the word "cache" and do not know what it is, we will tell briefly and clearly. Cache - a file stored by the browser for some specific time on the hard disk of the PC, which contain information about all the actions you have done on the Internet. Thanks to the saved data on the pages (cache), the browser will then refer to it to download the necessary page directly from there, and will not download it from the server again. This operation allows you to load pages faster, while saving traffic.

Of course, the browser will be sure to follow the updates of the pages and check their compliance with the saved copy for further updates. But in fact, not all updates can be detected on time.

It is for such reasons that there may be problems with displaying new information on the site. And often the solution to such problems is quite simple. To do this, you need to know only two basic things: how to update the browser cache And how to clean it.
