How to Clear Cache and Browsing Data on Popular Browsers

MyshortTips Chromebook Tutorial - A cache or cache memory is a hardware or software component that stores data so that future requests for that data can be retrieved more quickly; the stored data may be the result of a previous calculation or a copy of the data stored elsewhere.

 

 

 

Simple explanation about cache

 

With this, it can also save costs. You know, the more cache is stored, for example, accessing "social media", which has a cache function so that you can scroll faster to get the data.

Alternatively, if the website you frequently visit uses cache...:)If you like this rahmancyber website, for example, faster loading images than when you first opened it,

Here's the cache function in a simple explanation:

Examples of Blogs that use Cache

If you are a blogger, now it's trending again for the dark mode display, then how can visitors access the website according to the theme they chose before, without having to click again... :) Yes, take advantage of this cache...


This is an example of the cache I've used. 

 

 

There is 7d, so after 7 days... the cache expires... and loads again..


It can also be used to work around Blogger's "Laverage Browser Caching", when tested with pagespeed...


This, if you want a copy please... 

<!-- chace -->
<meta content='public' http-equiv='Cache-control'/>
<meta content='private' http-equiv='Cache-control'/>
<meta content='no-cache' http-equiv='Cache-control'/>
<meta content='no-store' http-equiv='Cache-control'/>
<!-- chace -->
<include expiration='7d' path='*.css'/>
<include expiration='7d' path='*.js'/>
<include expiration='7d' path='*.gif'/>
<include expiration='7d' path='*.jpeg'/>
<include expiration='7d' path='*.jpg'/>
<include expiration='7d' path='*.png'/>
<meta content='sat, 01 mar 2100 00:00:00 GMT' http-equiv='expires'/>

So, does this method actually have an impact?

That's what I believed in the past, but considering now that the browser is also sophisticated, I don't think it's really necessary for us to do that kind of setting... 

Where Do Browsers Store Cache Files...?

Each browser has its own place, but most are not much different... I will give an example for the Chrome browser...

 

AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache

If it's at my pc.. like this.. 

C:\Users\RahmanCyber\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache

that's where the cache is... if you want to see what's in it... yes... it's there..
