GUIDE: How to Clear Your Cache And History to See the Latest Version of The Consider It Flowers Website

CIF | February 27, 2024

When you visit websites, your computer or phone keeps some information from those sites to help it load them faster next time. This is useful because it can make your browsing experience quicker. However, this stored information might be outdated if the website has been updated with new features or content since your last visit.

For instance, if we make changes to our Consider It Flowers website, adding new products or updating features, you might not see these updates because your device is still showing you the old version stored in its memory.

To fix this, you need to clear your cache and browsing history. This is like telling your device to forget what it knows about the websites you’ve visited, so the next time you go to a site, it will load everything anew, ensuring you see the most current version of the website. Clearing your cache and history is a simple step you can take to make sure you’re always accessing the latest content and features on any website you visit.
