What is a browser's cache?

A browser's cache refers to a temporary storage location on the local device that saves web pages and their associated resources, such as images and scripts. When you visit a website, your browser stores certain elements of the page in the cache. This allows for quicker loading times on subsequent visits, as the browser can retrieve these files from the local cache rather than downloading them again from the internet. By utilizing the cache, browsers improve the overall efficiency of web browsing and enhance the user experience by reducing load times.

This is distinct from a log of browsing history, which records the websites visited; a storage space for large applications, which pertains to program storage rather than web content; and internet connection types, which relate to how devices connect to the internet rather than how data is stored on them.
