Cache is a temporary storage that your browser uses to save parts of a website, such as images, scripts, and multimedia. This allows your browser to load pages faster on subsequent visits because it can reuse previously downloaded content instead of fetching it again from the server.
โ ๏ธ Note: Sometimes the browser cache can prevent you from seeing updates made to a website. For example, if JavaScript or other elements have been changed, your browser may still display old versions stored in the cache.
