Clearing Cache Tutorial
LAST UPDATED: APRIL 28, 2024
Clearing Cache is important and super useful for several things on Marapets like fixing website glitches, newly replaced art not updating and improving the website's overall performance by speeding it up.
Keep in mind that you can also try a hard refresh before clearing cache as clearing your cache will log you out of ALL websites that are saved on your browser and clear out your browsing history.
This was adapted from one of my Marablogs from 2018. Internet Explorer & Firefox's secondary option were omitted in this update as IE is absolete and Firefox has advanced enough to contain only the one option.
