+## What is browser cache?
+
+Browser cache stores copies of web pages, images, and other resources locally on your device to make websites load faster on repeat visits. However, sometimes cached content can become outdated or corrupted, causing display issues or preventing you from seeing the latest updates.
+
+## When to clear your cache
+
+Consider clearing your browser cache when you experience:
+
+- Pages not displaying correctly or showing outdated content
+- Images or styles not loading properly
+- Website functionality not working as expected
+- Slow loading times despite good internet connection
+- Error messages related to loading resources
+
+<Tip>
+If you only need to refresh the current page with the latest content, try a hard refresh first (using the keyboard shortcuts mentioned above) before clearing your entire cache.
+</Tip>
+
+## After clearing cache
+
+After clearing your browser cache:
+
+- Websites may load slightly slower on your first visit as they re-download resources
+- You may need to log back into websites
+- Customized settings on websites may be reset
+- The issue you were experiencing should be resolved
+
+If problems persist after clearing your cache, the issue may be related to your internet connection, the website itself, or other browser settings.
