Browser Cache
A browser cache stores reusable website files, such as images, stylesheets, and scripts, on a visitor's device.
A browser cache stores reusable website files, such as images, stylesheets, and scripts, on a visitor's device. On a return visit, the browser may reuse suitable stored files rather than downloading them again, which can reduce network activity. Caching instructions and file versions determine when fresh assets are requested. A landscaping business that updates its logo might find some visitors still seeing an older image until their browser refreshes the cached resource. Browser caching differs from server-side or content delivery network caching, which stores responses elsewhere. Cache settings should improve repeat visits without leaving visitors stuck with outdated essential information.
