How do I clear my cache?

The reason browsers have a cache is to speed things up for you. Instead of processing tasks, like opening a webpage, from square one each and every time, a chunk of information called cache is created, like an earmark in a book, on your hard drive. That way, your machine is always at the ready to visit the sites you like to visit and making those load as fast as possible.

Sometimes you really want to grab the latest version of the page right from the server - so you have to clear your cache so that your browser does just that.  The instructions to clear your cache will vary depending on which browser you are using.

A quick search on Google comes up with these URLs, but feel free to do your own search!
