What is Cache?

Thanks for sharing the information.

Hi Friends,
In computing, a cache is a hardware or software component that stores data so that future requests for that data can be served faster; the data stored in a cache might be the result of an earlier computation or a copy of data stored elsewhere.

Cache is the process of reading through the webpage sources by search engine programs and provide information to search engines.

Cache in general is a type of temporary and quick access data used by apps. Any temporary information created or used by an app is part of cache.

In general, cache shouldnt cause problems, but occasionally it can become corrupted and cause an app to misbehave.

In general, no, it's not dangerous to clear it, but by doing so, you force the app to recreate any information it had previously stored in cache, which can slow down the app until the information is recreated.

Unless you're having problems, it's really not something you should ever have to mess with.

What information? Can you please explain it?

A cache  is a hardware or software that is used to store something, usually data, temporarily in a computing environment

 Cache is a snapshot or a copy of a page stored by Google and other search engine as a back-up.

Cache is a temporary storage area where website data is stored. By caching this data, the web browser can improve performance by loading data from your disk, instead of the Internet, if it is ever needed again.

Caching (pronounced "cashing") is the process of storing data in a cache. A cache is a temporary storage area. For example, the files you automatically request by looking at a Web page are stored on your hard disk in a cache subdirectory under the directory for your browser.

The cache exists because of a basic assumption made by browser designers: the internet is slow.

More accurately, your internet connection is slower than your computer.

CacheIt's faster to get something from your hard disk than it is to get it from the internet. Even with today's internet speeds, that still holds true.

An empty cache means there's no confusion. As you visit webpages hereafter, the browser will download fresh copies of everything you see on each page. You've simply forced your browser to rebuild its cache from scratch as it loads or re-loads pages. Any cache-related issues should be cleared up
