A browser cache is a mechanism for the temporary storage (caching) of web documents, such as HTML pages and images, to reduce bandwidth usage, server load, and perceived lag. (Wikipedia)
The pages that you visit on the internet are temporarily stored on your computer in your browser's cache. Sometimes when you return to visit a web page, your browser displays the page in the cache, instead of downloading a new page.
This can be troublesome if you are making changes to your web site. Your browser displays the page in the browser's cache and you can't see the changes.
This tutorial will assist you with clearing your Browser cache.
