How to Clear Your Browser Cache (Fix Loading & Display Issues)
Sometimes things don’t load correctly, look outdated, or behave strangely. In most cases, this is caused by your browser using stored (cached) data that’s no longer up to date.

Clearing your cache forces your browser to load the latest version — which resolves most issues quickly.
What is cache (and why it causes issues)?
Your browser saves temporary files (cache) to speed things up.
But when those files become outdated, they can:
Show old data
Break features or buttons
Cause login or loading issues
Clearing cache resets things back to a clean state.
