Clear your cache. See the latest version.

Browsers save parts of websites to help them load faster. When an old saved copy gets in the way, this guide shows you how to refresh it on your device.

Browser cache

A saved copy is useful—until it is out of date.

Clearing cached files asks your browser to download fresh page content.

Fix stale images or formatting

Load recent website changes

Resolve some loading problems

Start with a hard refresh

It reloads the current page without making you clear all browser data. This is often enough after a website update.

Windows or Linux

Ctrl + Shift + R

Works in Chrome, Edge and Firefox.

Mac

Command + Shift + R

For Safari, use Command + Option + R.

How to clear your browser cache

Choose your device, then your browser. Menu wording can vary slightly with app and operating-system updates.

1. Choose your device

2. Choose your browser

Chrome on Windows

Checked against Google Chrome Help
  1. 1

    Open Chrome and select the three-dot menu in the top-right.

  2. 2

    Select Delete browsing data.

  3. 3

    Choose a time range. Use All time if the problem has been happening for a while.

  4. 4

    Select Cached images and files. Only select cookies if you also want to remove saved sign-ins and site settings.

  5. 5

    Select Delete data, then reopen the website.

Clearing cookies or website data may sign you out and remove saved site preferences. Clear cached files first unless your support contact asks you to clear more.

What caching is—and what it is not

A cache is a temporary collection of website files stored on your device. Your browser can reuse images, styles and scripts instead of downloading them every time.

That usually makes browsing faster. But after a website changes, the browser may briefly keep showing an older file. Clearing the cache removes that temporary copy so the latest version can load.

Cache

Temporary page files that help websites load faster.

Cookies

Small files that can remember sign-ins, preferences and sessions.

What changes

Images and page files download again the next time you visit.

What stays

Your bookmarks and saved passwords remain unless you deliberately select them for deletion.

Still seeing the old page?

Close every browser window, reopen the browser and try again. If the issue continues, take a screenshot and send it to your support contact with your device and browser name.
