In a web browser, how do I speed up purging the cache?

When you access a web page in a browser such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Netscape, the browser caches it. When you return to the same page later, the browser can retrieve it from cache rather than downloading it from the network again. This makes for much faster web browsing, especially when you return to the same page often. However, the cache on the hard disk periodically needs to be cleaned out, which can take some time. Browsers typically clear the cache progressively, while running.

Decreasing the size of the cache will reduce the amount of time required to clear it. However, the cache will have to be cleared more often, since there will be less space for the browser to store cached files. You could reduce the cache to zero, but previously viewed pages would then need to be downloaded again at each repeat visit. The best size for your cache depends on your browsing habits. If you routinely visit only a few pages, a small cache will do, but if you routinely visit a lot of pages, keep a larger cache.

To find the cache size setting of various browsers, follow the appropriate instructions below:

Firefox

Firefox 2.0 for Windows:

• From the Tools menu, select Options... .
• Click Advanced, and then click the Network tab. Under "Cache", enter your preferred cache size in the text box.

Firefox 2.0 for Mac OS X:

• From the Firefox menu, select Preferences... .
• Click Advanced, and then click the Network tab. Under "Cache", enter your preferred cache size in the text box.

Firefox 1.x for Windows:

• From the Tools menu, select Options... .
• Under "Cache", enter your preferred cache size in the text box. (If you don't see the text box, click the + (plus sign) next to "Cache".) Click OK.

Firefox 1.x for Mac OS X:

• From the Firefox menu, select Preferences... .
• Under "Cache", enter your preferred cache size in the text box. (If you don't see the text box, click the triangle next to "Cache".) Click OK.

Netscape

Netscape Browser 8 for Windows:

• From the Tools menu, select Options... .
• Click Privacy, and then click the + (plus sign) next to "Cache".
