# Clearing the browser cache

The browser cache is a memory of a web browser, in which already retrieved resources are stored on the computer as a copy.

In case a resource is needed again, it can be retrieved from the browser cache faster than having to download it again.

When making changes in the storefront, therefore, it may be useful to clear the browser cache in addition to the Shopware cache.

It is not necessary to clear the entire browser cache, it should be enough to refresh your shop in the browser cache.

## **Clearing the browser cache**

Clearing the cache may differ depending on the browser. The following options are the most common:

* Windows: **CTRL + Shift + Entf**
* Mac: **Command + Alt + E**

## **Reloading website and cache**

Clearing the cache while reloading the website may differ depending on the browser. The following options are the most common:

* Windows: **Ctrl + F5**
* Mac: **Command (⌘) + Shift (⇧) + R** or **Command (⌘) + Option/Alt (⌥) + R**

**Important**: In addition, empty the Shopware cache once: [Clearing / warming up the Shopware cache](/knowledge-base/tutorials/miscellaneous/clearing-the-shopware-cache.md)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledge.themeware.design/knowledge-base/tutorials/miscellaneous/clearing-the-browser-cache.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
