What Happens When I Clear the Cache?

I have used my computer for a long time. Now, logging into some websites is slow. I'm going to clear my cache. What happens when I clear my cache?

When you clear the caches of a website, you delete the temporary copies of data that websites store. Cache files take up storage space on your device. Clearing the cache can free up that space and make room for other apps or files.

  • Corrupted or outdated cache files can cause webpages or apps to load slowly or have problems. Clearing the cache can fix this problem because the browser or app will re-download the required resources.
  • Clearing the cache ensures that you view the latest version of the content. If you don't clear the cache, you may not see the latest content on a webpage.
  • Clearing the cache can help protect your privacy and security in some cases. It removes files that may contain your browsing history or sensitive information.
  • Different apps or browser plugins may conflict with each other because of certain data in the cache. Clearing the cache can eliminate these conflicts.
  • Clearing some types of cache may log you out of certain websites or services. When you visit a webpage or app that was previously cached, the browser or app will need to re-download those cached resources that were cleared.
