You also use less data as your Mac does not have to download each web page and its contents frequently since it can restore it from the cache. What this means is that the files are opened instantaneously thereby saving you valuable time.
When the browser realizes that the data you're requesting is already accessible on your hard drive, it would open those files instead of downloading them again from the website's server. If you reopen the same page four minutes later, the same files are still existing on your computer. The data in the Cached files can be compared to a ’’shortcut’’ to a given task which makes the operation faster the next time it is carried out.įor example, when you visit a website, your browser downloads images and text to your computer. These files contain data that help improve response time and reduce latency.
