How to clear my browser's cache/cookies?

Why clear my browser's cache and cookies?

Clearing cache and cookies can improve the speed and performance of your browser. The cache stores files to reduce the need to download them again, while cookies save browsing data like logins or user preferences. Over time, this stored data might cause issues or prevent sites from running efficiently. Clearing them can help resolve issues like outdated site versions, slow webpage loads, and even security concerns.

If you're using Google Chrome and you encounter any issues try this:

  1. Press F12 on your keyboard.
  2. A side panel will appear (as shown in the screenshot below).
  3. Click on the blue 'Storage' tab.
  4. Select 'Clear site data'.

📝Note: If you have passwords saved, you will want to uncheck the box that reads: passwords

If this doesn't resolve the issue, please refer to the detailed instructions below on how to clear your cache/cookies for your specific browser.

Remember to restart your browser after clearing the cache and cookies for the changes to take effect. It might also be a good idea to bookmark or remember your frequently visited sites, as clearing cache and cookies might log you out of them. 

Happy browsing! 🚀
