How To Clear Your Cache

💡 What It Is

Your browser cache is like a digital junk drawer — it stores temporary files (like images, scripts, and website data) so websites load faster the next time you visit.

That’s usually helpful — but not always.


🎯 Why You Should Clear It

Over time, your cache can store outdated files. This might cause:

  • Pages not to load correctly

  • Buttons or features to appear broken

  • Older versions of a site to display (even after updates)

Because GlassHouse regularly releases new features and improvements, your browser might continue to show an outdated version of the platform unless the cache is cleared.

Think of clearing your cache as refreshing your browser’s memory — it helps ensure you’re seeing the most current and functional version of our tools.

        🙋 FAQs

        Question Answer
        Will clearing my cache delete my passwords? No — not unless you manually choose to clear “Passwords” or “Autofill data.” Clearing cached images and files is safe.
        Do I need to clear my cache often? Not usually, but once a week is a good habit — especially if you use platforms that update frequently.
        What’s the difference between cache and cookies? Cache stores images, scripts, and code for faster loading. Cookies store login info, site preferences, and tracking data.
        Will clearing cache log me out of websites? No — you’ll stay logged in unless you also clear cookies.
