Clear your browser cache and cookies

Fixes pages that will not load, look wrong or keep showing old information.

Updated September 21, 2026

A browser saves copies of pages to speed things up. Sometimes those copies go stale and cause odd errors. Clearing them is safe, though you will be signed out of websites.

  1. Try a hard refresh first. Press Ctrl + F5.
  2. If that does not help, press Ctrl + Shift + Delete in Edge or Chrome.
  3. Choose a time range such as Last 4 weeks.
  4. Tick Cookies and other site data and Cached images and files. Leave passwords and autofill unticked.
  5. Select Clear now, or Delete data in Chrome.
  6. Restart the browser and sign in again.
Good to know

If a site works in a private window but not in your normal one, this fix is likely to help.
