(pronounced "cashing")īy storing temporary files to your device caché, your browser saves itself the work– and us, the wait –of having to download all this information each and every time.

This information is usually stored on your hard drive in whats called the browser’s caché and the process is commonly referred to as caching. In order to speed things up, save download time & resources, your device (like iPhone, PC, Mac, etc) stores some of the information that is used frequently throughout a website (inside the browser application you are using).

If a browser had to do all of this every time we visit a web page, we could be waiting a very long time. It has to read the URL, go out to the server, find the page you requested, read the code there, source extras like images, download it all, and finally convert it all to something we can see and understand. Internet web browsers (like Safari, Chrome, etc) have a lot of work to do before it can load a page for you to see. You should " Clear your caché" periodically, also!
