The Google Chrome browser is quite easy to use, but any browser starts to slow down over time and even suddenly interrupt or display some sites inadequately. Why is this happening? One of the possible reasons is the load of the browser's cache with data on the visited pages of sites, so as not to load them again every time. This data accumulates over several weeks, or even months, if you do not carry out preventive cleaning. It is necessary to periodically delete unnecessary information from the cache.
How do I find the settings control panel in Chrome?
To clear the cache memory in the Chrome browser, first of all, you need to close all tabs with loaded website pages. The next step is to search for the Google Chrome settings and control panel. This panel opens when you click on the button with three horizontal bars, which is located in the upper right corner. Next, you need to select "Tools" and go to "Delete data on viewed pages".
The browser saves information about how the pages of all sites that were opened in it look like. This is necessary to increase the speed of the "Chroma". But if a lot of pages were opened, the memory is overloaded.
An additional window will appear with several items, opposite which you need to check or uncheck them. If you need to clean only the cache, you should tick only there, and delete the rest by clicking on each with the mouse.
What settings are related to the cache clearing procedure?
Next, you need to pay attention to the tab at the top of the window, which offers to select the period in which the Chrome browser collected information that filled the cache memory. You can delete only the data received during the previous hour, day, week or month, or you can clear the entire browser cache at once by selecting the "For all time" operation.
Now all that remains is to click on the button at the bottom of the window, which says "Clear history". The whole procedure after that will take a split second, and the window will disappear. You can continue to work in the browser as usual.
Clearing the cache will not deprive the user of the necessary information, the result will only be an increase in the speed of the browser.
What else will help speed up your browser?
By clearing the cache, you can also tidy up other settings by checking additional boxes in the settings window.
For example, the function of clearing browsing history is useful: by doing this, you can destroy the list of sites that have ever been opened in the browser.
For security purposes, you can delete passwords that were entered somewhere through the browser, if they are saved (set in the settings).
Download history is a list of files that have ever been saved through the Google Chrome browser downloader. This list can also be deleted so as not to overload the browser with unnecessary information. The files themselves will not disappear, they will remain on the hard disk of the computer.
In addition, it is helpful from time to time to delete cookies that store some web resources in the computer's memory. These files contain information about the language in which the user prefers to view pages on the Internet, what he asked in the search and from which region he usually goes online. In some ways, these tracking modules are useful, they make surfing the Internet more convenient, but not always, so the cookies also have to be cleaned.
