Clearing Cache

The cache is nothing more than a place on your hard disk where the browser keeps things that it downloaded in case they’re needed again.

For instance, when you first visit a page on a site, the browser will typically download a logo or other images so that they can be shown. Every time that you visit a different page on the site, the same images don’t need to be downloaded again; as long as the same image is displayed, it’s already here. Keyfax runs inside a web browser and behaves the same way.

There may be occasions when you need to clear out (or empty) your cache in order to see the very latest page content. It’s not always a caching problem, but because it happens often enough, "clear your browser cache" is often one of the first diagnostic steps that you’ll hear from techie people.
