Cache is a storage location where frequently accessed data is temporarily stored in order to provide faster access to it. On your computer, this includes temporary internet files.
Why is it good to clear my cache memory?
Sometimes, you may still see an old version of a web page even though the page has been updated. Reloading or refreshing the page doesn't work. In such cases, the browser retrieves the page from the cache on your computer and displays the old version. By clearing all cache files, the website will fetch the latest version from the server, ensuring that you see the most up-to-date information on your computer.
