How to Refresh your Browser's Cache

What is my “Cache” and Why Should I Clear it?

When you first access a website, your browser will save certain information to optimize speed. In this way, the next time you visit that site, the use of cached files will help cut down on page load time.

If the website updates any information that your browser has cached, you will not be able to see the updated changes. The browser will continue to load the old, cached version of the file

There are some situations when refreshing your browser will not be sufficient. This reloads the webpage while still using the old files from the cache. You need to refresh your cache first!
