Internet browsers (programs like Firefox, Safari, Microsoft Internet Explorer and Chrome) save parts of a website upon the first visit. This allows the website to load quickly when visited again. Sometime clearing the cache is necessary when parts of a website have changed. Many browser-related issues can be solved by clearing browser caches.
