Improve Your Internet Speed by Clearing Your Cache
improve internet speed by clearing cache with kennel software


So, what’s the “cache”, you might ask?

A cache is a storage space for information and visuals that your browser automatically downloads when you’re surfing the internet. Each web browser you use (Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox) has it’s own cache.

For example, when you visit the PawLoyalty web page, your cache for Firefox will automatically download PawLoyalty’s logo and store it. Firefox will save the PawLoyalty kennel software logo so that if you visit the PawLoyalty main landing page again (or any other PawLoyalty page with the same logo), your web browser will have that logo stored to save you the time of re-downloading the image each time you visit.

In the short term, the cache is meant to remember your internet activity and save you downloading time. In the long term, this takes up a lot of storage space on your web browser. The cache is usually one of the first places an IT guy will ask you to check when your internet begins to run slowly over time.

We want to make sure you have the best PawLoyalty kennel software experience as possible, which is why we recommend clearing your cache whenever you are experiencing slowness. “Clearing your cache” will delete downloaded items that were stored in your cache and enable your internet to run faster without all the extra baggage.

We recommend Firefox when using PawLoyalty kennel management software.
