A cache (pronounced "cash")[1] is a form of computer memory that maintains previously accessed information for speedy access again, by storing it on the local computer or phone, or in memory on the website recently accessed by that same user. While this enables quick repeated access, it can also frustrate seeing new updates on the website.
Caches are often used for web addresses recently typed into one's browser. Sometimes it can be challenging to clear one's cache easily and conveniently, in order to obtain or use new information.
