Clearing the cache - how does it work?

All browsers cache visited websites and other information such as search terms, scripts or images on your computer. This feature significantly improves the surfing experience, as the browser no longer has to download all the data from the Internet. The browser checks whether new content has been available since the last visit to a website and then downloads only the changed data.

However, sometime this routine doesn't work as intended and the browser misses some changes. This can lead to errors that can be solved by clearing the cache.
