by Today, one of the most consulted topics are those that have to do with the use of technological devices, since these innovations interfered in daily life and, therefore, it is recommended to use them responsibly. Several of the devices, whether cell phones or computers, adapt to the avant-garde, with connection to networks and other alternatives that allow digital interaction.
Then, the people, called as Internet users or users, began to question themselves in relation to the manipulation and navigation on the web. This because There is not only an alternative to search, but there are various options that the intangible market offers.
In this sense, users have Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Edge, as the most popular websites to browse, but others are added to the list. Also, despite the fact that they are scenarios that have been going on for years, there are those who do not know about their optimal management to enjoy a better experience.
According to technology-focused portals such as computer todayand considerations given by technicians in repair of computers and smart cell phones, the cache of these devices must be cleared in order to troubleshoot performance.
What is the cache?
Taking into account compilations of the digital guide blog ionos, “A cache is a type of digital buffer that stores data once retrieved for later access.” It is an alternative that provides the data without the need to go back to the first search, in this case, from the browsers.
Those who know the subject indicate that browsers, through this type of memory, temporarily store various contents of web pages. “If you visit the pages again later, they will load faster, since the data will be retrieved directly from the cache and not from the server,” they specify.
In that order of ideas, the cache fulfills the purpose of reducing the access time to the portals and preserving data such as those that are frequently consulted. In addition, it is shared that the operation of this memory is hidden; in fact, the origin of the word cache It comes from French and means “hidden”.
“Unlike actual data storage, the cache is invisible to the user. This means that you, the user, should not know anything about the internal properties of a cache”, according to ionos.
When to delete the cache?
One of the reasons why experts recommend clearing the cache, as long as the data is obtained by the user in another way, is when you begin to notice that the technological device is not working smoothly, that is, it is pausing.
For example, due to excessive caching, It can happen that the pages take time to open completely and the playback of videos too. Therefore, it is advised to release some of the resources.
Likewise, it is not ruled out that some malware or virus in memory, which can completely truncate the internal processes of the smartphone or computers, whether desktop or laptop.
For its part, the website xataca remember that “with the passage of time we can see how that data stored in cache can exceed the gigabyte of storage”. Besides, “Not all applications automatically delete all those residual files that you will never need anymore.”
Finally, there are browsers, such as Google Chrome, which have updates to be able to eliminate residual files from all apps at the same time, while others need to be done one by one.
