What is Cache?

Cache is a temporary storage location where data is stored for quick access. In web browsing, it involves saving parts of websites, such as images, HTML files, and scripts, on a user's device or server so that these resources can be loaded more quickly the next time the user visits the site.

Caching improves website performance by reducing load times, as it minimizes the need to download the same data repeatedly. For example, when you visit a website, your browser caches its elements, allowing the page to load faster on subsequent visits. However, an outdated or corrupted cache can cause issues, so clearing the cache periodically is often recommended to ensure that the most current content is displayed.
