Cache is a process of storing your browsing data temporarily so that your browser does not need to re-download the data, but instead it accesses them more quickly from a local directory.
However, when there is caching data stored, any changes to the webpage are not always reflected straight away due to cache. You can refresh your browser but if this still does not show the most updated content, please try clearing cache.
