Clearing Web Browser Cache / Data / History

Clear Cache and Carry On

In general, it is a good practice to periodically clear the web browser cache / data / history (for simplicity purposes of this article, I am using these words interchangeably).  To provide a better (quicker and more responsive) experience, web browsers often store browsing data when users are accessing websites.  However, this benefit can also be a hindrance at times as website content often changes, and web browsers may store form data different from what the user intends to enter later.  When a large amount of data is in web browser cache, website browsing can often be a slower experience.
