What is the browser cache ?

Before you get an answer to the question: "How do I clear the Yandex.Browser cache?", It is necessary to find out what it is intended for, what is in it, what benefit does it have?

So, the cache of the web browser is a repository where information about previously visited web pages is located. The next time you open a favorite site, the data will provide the cache, which will cause the page to load faster.

It is worth noting that the cache can get a whole page, as well as its separate fragment - image, video. Did you notice that the pages of the resource that you regularly visit are loaded faster than on the site viewed for the first time? This is due to the fact that the information is taken from a special repository - the cache. As you can see, everything is very simple.

However, sometimes the cache of "Yandex" or any other browser should be cleaned. Why? This will be discussed below. At once it is necessary to tell, that this procedure can be executed even by an inexperienced "user", after all anything complex in it is not present.

Why clean the browser cache?

So, as it was said earlier, you need to periodically delete the saved data from the browser cache. When do you need to do this? Here everything depends on the situation. If you notice that the web browser has become "hovering", "bugging" or reacting to your commands more often, then first of all it is recommended to clean the cache in "Yandex.Browser".

There are other reasons. For example, you are a regular visitor to a website. Having opened it once again, you saw that the administrator asks you to evaluate the new design of this resource. However, you do not notice any changes. Why? Because the cache has kept the old information about the site settings, so you need to delete it, then log out of your account on this resource and log in again. As a result, you will see an updated design of the site and will be able to give it your assessment.

As you can see, sometimes you really need to clean the cache of the web browser. On how to conduct this operation, read on.
