About Cache
A memory cache is where your computer stores recently-viwed websites and temporary files that help speed up your user experience. All your commonly-accessed files are kept here so that when you wish to visit that file or website again, the browser can open the files directly from the hard drive instead of redownloading them from the internet. This makes your experience faster and more intuitive.
