Clearing the cache deletes temporary data that speeds up page loading. After clearing it, some sites might load slower the first time. Make sure not to delete other important data like passwords or history unless necessary.

​
What is Cache?

Cache is a temporary memory that saves web page elements (images, CSS files, JavaScript) to speed up loading on subsequent visits. However, sometimes it can cause issues like outdated pages or display errors. Clearing the cache resolves these issues.
