Clearing your cache every month will prompt your web browsers to re-examine websites with a fresh perspective.
Your iPhone is a remarkable device that enables you to access the internet and browse at lightning-fast speeds. However, even the latest iPhone models can begin to feel sluggish over time. To keep your iPhone’s browsers running smoothly, it’s recommended that you clear your cache every month.
Whether you use Safari, Chrome, or other browsers on your iPhone, your cache gradually accumulates digital clutter. Clearing your cache gives your browser a fresh start, which can accelerate your web browsing experience, even on iOS 16.3.1. If you want to speed up your phone even more, try managing your iPhone’s storage.)
Your browser cache works by storing website data to give your browser a head start the next time you visit that page. This can speed up the process in the short term.However, over time, the information for your cache can emerge as previous and not healthy the website’s contemporary needs. When that happens, pages may load slower, and the formatting may be incorrect.
Clearing your cache can help by giving websites a clean slate in your browser and freeing up space in your storage. Website cookies work similarly, but instead, store information about user data. Clearing your cookies provides an opportunity to reset your preferences, potentially improving your browsing experience. It’s worth noting that clearing your cache and cookies will log you out of sites, requiring you to log in again and reset any preferences. However, the initial investment of time can lead to a smoother experience later on, and it’s a useful solution if you’ve recently changed settings that aren’t being applied correctly.
