Overview

When you visit a site for the first time the browser will save files of the site in a cache. The browser can display the files stored in its cache much faster without the need to pull fresh files from the internet. The next time you visit that site, the cached files will help decrease the page load time.

Eventually, ShareVision has to make updates to some files that comprise your site in order to launch a new feature or to fix a defect. If we modify a file that is cached your browser will keep displaying the old version, preventing you from seeing our most recent changes.This is when you may face browser errors like run time error, buttons missing on the page, site not responding appropriately etc.

Clearing the Cache and Cookies in a browser helps fix these issues.


  • In most web browsers press Ctrl-Shift-Delete (Windows) or Command-Shift-Delete (Mac) to open menus used to clear your cache.
  • A quick way to refresh your cache is to simply hold Ctrl and press F5 on your keyboard
