Clearing the Cache

Sometimes when you read that a new version of a website is available, you still see the old version. The most likely explanation for this is that your browser is still displaying a stored version of the page from its cache instead refreshing and showing the new version.

A cache is a collection of recently-used files that your Web browser stores on your computer enabling your browser to display some web pages faster than by re-downloading them.
