Hey, I am Lula.

Clearing your browser's cache is a straightforward method that can enhance your browser's performance and solve common problems like incorrect page loading or outdated information display.

It is also recommended to clear your cache every time you update your website with new data, that's both browsers and servers.

I will walk you through clearing the cache on commonly used web browsers.

Google Chrome
Clearing the cache in Google Chrome, open your browser, and click on the three dots icon at the top right corner to access the menu. Select "More tools" from there and click "Clear browsing data." Once you access the Clear browsing data window, you can select a specific time range for clearing the cache or choose "All time" to remove everything. Ensure that the box labeled "Cached images and files" is checked, and if desired, you can also select other data types like browsing history, cookies, and passwords to clear. However, it's advised to leave cookies and passwords unchecked to avoid the inconvenience of signing up for apps again. Finally, click the "Clear data" button.

Mozilla Firefox
Clearing the cache in Mozilla Firefox, open your browser, and click on the three lines icon at the top right corner to open the menu. Next, select "Options" and click "Privacy & Security" from the left-hand menu. Proceed to the "Cookies and Site Data" section and choose "Clear Data." Ensure that the "Cached Web Content" box is selected, and optionally, you can also choose to clear other data types such as cookies and browsing history. However, to avoid the inconvenience of signing up for apps again, leaving cookies and passwords unchecked is recommended. Finally, click the "Clear" button.

Microsoft Edge
Clearing the cache in Microsoft Edge, start by opening the browser and then click on the three dots icon in the top right corner to access the menu. Select "Settings," then click "Privacy, search, and Services" from the left-hand menu. Under "Clear browsing data," click on "Choose what to clear." Check the box labeled "Cached images and files." Optionally, you can also clear other data types, such as cookies and browsing history. However, leaving cookies and passwords unchecked is recommended to avoid the inconvenience of signing up for apps again. Lastly, click on the "Clear now" button.

Safari
Clearing the cache in Safari, launch the browser and click on the "Safari" option top menu. From there, select "Preferences." Click on the "Privacy" tab and select "Manage Website Data." You can either choose to "Remove All" to clear your browser's cache or select specific items to remove. And thus, to save signing up again for other apps.
