When it comes to web technology there are a variety of things to consider. Speed, and user experience being 2 popular considerations. At OneTeam360 we care about both of those things and as such, we do what we can to improve both of them.
Why does this matter?
We cache some ‘stuff’ on your browser so that it loads quickly and feels ‘snappy’. But that sometimes means that when improvements or features are released, your browser is loading that ‘stuff’ that isn’t the brand new squeaky clean good stuff. This article walks you through how to make sure you are loading the ‘brand new good stuff’ every time. We do this by clearing out the old stuff. It’s called clearing your cache.
