Is your internet fast enough?

I thought your browser storing data helped pages load faster. For example, on a website that you visit often, your browser might saved cached versions of images on the page. If you clear your data constantly, you're having to redownload all the images on that page all the time, thus making things a tad slower and also eating up unnecessary bandwidth.

I dunno though, I am no computer expert :computer:
While clearing your cookies and cache is beneficial periodically, storing them does improve page load speeds overall.
 
Yeah, catching pages does indeed catch all of those external resources so they don't have to be re-downloaded.
 
Unless when you have old copies of the cache and you are a web developer and they dont update so have to clear them anyway to see the changes :(

As far as the speed of the internet isnt affected however your computer does run a bit slower if its not cleared regularly, but has nothing to do with internet speed itself.
 
On another note i just increased my internet speed to 10mbps down /250 upload with unlimited data cap
