Clear your cache
Your browser cache is a temporary storage for data on your computer. It allows for faster processing since page data doesn't have to be retrieved from the original location every time you return to a website. It's sometimes necessary to clear your browser cache. You might have to clear it for one of several reasons:
- The cache is too large and is slowing your computer down.
- Your browser isn't uploading updated information on sites.
- A web page doesn't load properly.
Why should I clear my cache?
Clearing your cache can help solve common issues you may run into when customizing the look and feel of your site, including:
- New photos that aren't showing up
- An updated logo isn't appearing after you upload it
- Words or pictures are "running into each other" on the screen
- Colors aren't showing correctly—like blue is showing as red
- You've submitted edits (to settings, a need, an agency profile, etc.), but those changes aren't saving
How do I clear it?
How you clear your browser cache depends on what browser and version you're using. This WikiHow article provides instructions for clearing caches on the major web browsers.
