# Cache

Can be translated by the *term buffer* or *memory cache*. It is used to make web pages load faster by storing data from previous visits in the cache. This way, when you visit the same web page several times, everything doesn’t have to be loaded and downloaded again from the beginning and everything is faster. However, it is because of this feature that caches can cause problems on websites. Especially if you have made important changes to them that won’t load because of the cache. There are several ways to solve this problem. The first and easiest is a “hard page refresh”, which is easily done on the Windows keyboard using the ctrl+F5 keyboard shortcut.

However, a surer way is to clear the cache in your browser settings.
