If you cannot see updates on your website, you may need to clear your browser cache. A clear cache is important for the following reasons: 

1. Performance - Cached data can accumulate over time, taking up valuable space on your device or browser. Clearing the cache can help improve the performance of your device or browser by freeing up this space and allowing it to operate more efficiently.
2. Speed - Cached data is stored locally, which means that when you revisit a website or use an application, your device doesn't need to download all of the data again. While this can speed up loading times initially, over time, the cache can become bloated, potentially slowing down your device or browser. Clearing the cache periodically ensures that you're getting the most up-to-date and fastest experience when browsing the web or using applications.
3. Privacy - Your cache can contain sensitive information such as browsing history, cookies, and other temporary files. Clearing the cache regularly helps protect your privacy by removing this data from your device.
4. Troubleshooting - Sometimes, issues with websites or applications can be resolved by clearing the cache. Cached data can become corrupted or outdated, leading to errors or malfunctioning features. Clearing the cache can help troubleshoot these issues by forcing your device or browser to retrieve fresh data from the server.

Clearing the cache is important for maintaining the performance, speed, privacy, and functionality of your device or browser. It's a simple maintenance task that can help ensure a smoother and more secure user experience.
