How do I clear my cache?

Please note that after you clear your cache, some sites' settings can be deleted, such as if you were signed in, you will need to sign in again. In addition, some sites can seem slower because they need to reload content (such as images).

How you clear your cache depends on your browser type and version. Please check out how to clear your cache for:
