Ever have a website not load properly? Try clearing your cached images and files.

 If you have ever had a website not load properly, try clearing your cache. Think of cache as the place where your browser (in this example Google Chrome) stores images, code, and other file types to avoid having to redownload repeatedly. Your browser would run a lot slower if cache did not exist. That being said, sometimes those stored images/code/other files can have something go wrong with them.

So... try clearing it. Here are two ways to do it in Chrome:

  • select the three dots in the upper right ---select settings--- security and privacy --- clear browsing data --- make sure cached images and files are selected --- clear data
  • hold down Ctrl Shift Delete --- make sure cached images and files are selected --- clear data
I would then recommend restarting your computer and trying the site again.

Embedded below is a 1 minute and 16 second YouTube tutorial.



Take care,
Brad
