When you use a browser, like Google Chrome, it saves some information from websites in its cache and cookies. Clearing them fixes certain problems, like loading or formatting issues on sites. This is useful when new changes are implemented on our system. The new changes need to overwrite the existing cache and therefore it is ideal to clear the cache if certain things don’t work.
