How to Clear your Browser's CacheUpdated a year ago

When browsing the internet, your computer or mobile device often saves information about the site you visit so that it will load faster the next time you visit it. Most of the time, this is great. Who wants to wait forever for a page to load?

However, sometimes this causes your computer to load old content (the cached files) when you visit a site. This can negatively affect your website experience and can even cause issues during checkout.

Here are just a few problems that can often be solved by clearing your cache:

  • Issues logging into your account
  • Pages freezing or not loading
  • Problems adding or removing items to your cart
  • Inability to proceed to checkout
