To bring web pages to the screen faster, the browser uses the cache memory. Cache is a storage place for temporary data that your browser accesses from previous surfing sessions. The advantage is that the entire page does not have to be downloaded every time. The disadvantage is that you sometimes see outdated information. Then clearing your browser cache can sometimes help.
In the cache, the browser stores copies of websites you have visited, along with the images and all media files. If you have the impression that you are seeing outdated information, it helps to refresh the page by pressing F5 or by clicking the reload icon in the address bar of the browser. Sometimes it’s better to be a little more thorough and clear the browser cache.
Don’t go too drastic about it. Only clear the cache and not the cookies or browsing history (unless you specifically want that, of course). In this way you prevent your login details and settings at web services from being deleted and that you have to set it all up again.
