Sluggishly moving from app to app and struggling with new browser tabs are tell-tale signs that you need to clear your phone&#8217;s cache. You can do it in a few quick steps, and the trick might save you from having to spend money on\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><\/span>\u00a0(unless you&#8217;re already considering the\u00a0<span class=\"link\" data-track=\"anchorLink\"><\/span>). You can also\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><\/span>\u00a0to help it get back up to speed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"speakableTextP2\">Typically, visiting a website requires your phone to download information like photos, banners and other data. To help speed up that process, most internet browsers will store some of that data in a cache so it&#8217;s easier to retrieve. Think about it like storing a 24-pack of beverages in your fridge so you don&#8217;t have to trek to the grocery store every time you want a drink. In small doses, it&#8217;s convenient.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Things become less convenient when your browser&#8217;s cache gets outdated and the data being retrieved no longer matches the data actually being used on the website. The result? Slower load speeds and wonky website formatting. That&#8217;s why clearing your cache can help: It gives sites a fresh start in your browser and frees up some space in your storage.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>Note that clearing your cache will sign you out of sites you&#8217;re currently logged into. Still,  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lawrence.com\/users\/saimanwatso\/\">PerfectPCServer<\/a> it&#8217;s generally worth that mild inconvenience every now and then to keep things moving quickly.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>Here are step-by-step guides on how to clear your cache on your iPhone based on the <span class=\"link\"><\/span> you use.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<h2>How to clear your iPhone cache in Safari<\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"link\"><\/span> is the default browser on iPhones, and you can clear your Safari cache in a few short steps.

The data in your cache builds over time and can end up slowing things down if it becomes too bulky. (My phone had about 150 MB of data stored in Chrome when I checked.) Clearing that data gives sites a fresh start, which may fix some loading errors and speed up your browser. However, clearing your cache also signs you out of pages, so be prepared to sign into everything again.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>How often do I need to clear my cache?<\/h2>\n<p>Most people only need to clear their caches once every month or two. That&#8217;s generally the point where your browser will build up a cache large enough to start slowing things down. If you frequent a large number of sites, you should err on the side of clearing your cache more often.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For more, check out <span class=\"link\"><\/span>, <span class=\"link\"><\/span>\u00a0and <span class=\"link\"><\/span>.
