How often has this happened to you: you make an update on your website, yet when you go to see the live changes they are not visible? Where did all my edits go? That is one of the most commonly asked questions we receive in the Lone Wolf Support Department, and is easily remedied by completing a quick process known as "clearing the browser cache."
Cache is information that is downloaded from internet servers onto your computer temporarily in order for websites to load faster upon revisit. Factor in the browser cache you accumulate from all the websites you visit, and your cache can become quite full.
Clearing your browser cache will benefit you by resolving slow page loading issues and situations where you are not seeing changes you made go live. While the cache is intended to help you with quick reloading, too much storage will cause an adverse effect.
