browser cache

Saved website data

A browser cache is the local storage where a web browser saves copies of web pages, images, and other content you've visited.

When you return to a site, the browser loads these saved files instead of downloading everything again, making pages load faster.

Clearing your browser cache forces fresh downloads and can fix display problems caused by outdated stored files.
