Web Browsers - Clear the Cache

What Is a Browser Cache?

By default, most web browsers use a cache (i.e., a temporary storage area on your device) to save copies of web images, scripts and styles, which they use to load the page faster on future visits.

When to Clear Your Cache

Clearing your web browser's cache can often resolve a wide range of issues, including:

  • Unexpected login or multi-factor authentication errors
  • Stale website content
  • Slow browser performance

OIT recommends clearing your browser cache regularly to avoid these issues.
