How to: Clear Your Cache for an Optimal Experience of Your Demo!

How to: Clear Your Cache for an Optimal Experience of Your Demo!

In order to work quickly with your web-based software, your browser temporarily stores a certain amount of data in your local computer’s cache. This way, your software doesn’t have to reload this information the next time you use it, resulting in faster performance. 

If your software has been updated and you want to test it in our test environment, be aware that your internet browser may load an older version from the cache memory. We always recommend to clear your computer’s cache before starting testing your software. 

Clear your cache with a forced refresh:

To ensure that you see the latest version of your software, we ask you to clear your cache memory beforehand. A simple forced refresh is usually sufficient. Open the software demo in your web browser and refresh the page by using the following key combinations: 

Windows:

[ctrl] + [F5]

MacOS:

[Apple] + [R] of [command] + [R]

Linux:

[F5]
