How to clear your Safari browser cache on a Mac, iPhone, or iPad

• You can clear your cache on Safari in just a few steps on a Mac, iPhone, or iPad.
• Clearing your cache, as well as history and cookies, can help resolve your device's performance issues.
• Clearing your cookies will clear your passwords as well, unless you save them with keychain.

A cache is a store of data. When you visit a website on your Mac, iPhone, or iPad, the Safari browser keeps a snapshot of the pages you view.

If you go back to that website, Safari loads the cached page in an instant, instead of taking the time to retrieve the page from the internet again.

But an overloaded cache can take up storage space and cause your device to run inefficiently — and it could use a periodic clearing.

Here's what you need to know to clear your cache on Safari, as well as your cookies and browsing history.

How to clear Safari cache on Mac

You can either clear just your cache or your cache, history, and cookies. 

Clear your cache

1. Click on the Safari tab at the top left of your screen and choose Preferences from the dropdown menu.

2.  Click the Advanced tab of the menu that pops up.

3.  At the end of the tab, select the Show Develop menu in menu bar box and close the Preferences menu.

4. Click the Develop tab from the Safari menu at the top of the page.

5. Click Empty Caches from the dropdown menu.

Clear your cache, history, and cookies

You may also want to clear your browsing history and cookies in addition to emptying your cache. Here's how to do that.

1. Choose the History tab at the top of your screen.

2. At the very bottom of the dropdown menu, choose Clear History.

3.  A box pops up with a choice to clear the last hour, today, today and yesterday, or all history. Choose your time frame and click the Clear History button.  

Once you clear the history, it will also clear the cache and cookies associated with that time period.

How to clear Safari cache on iPhone or iPad

To clear your cache and browsing history:

1. Open the Settings app.

2. Tap Safari .

3. Tap Clear History and Website Data .

4. On the screen that pops up, choose Clear History and Data .

To clear your cache but not your browsing history:

3. Tap Advanced .

4. Tap Website Data .

5. Choose Remove All Website Data .

What happens to saved passwords when you clear your cache

When you clear your cache, history, and cookies, you may discover that Safari has logged you out of your favorite websites.

While clearing Safari's cache alone will not delete your passwords, clearing your history and cookies can. That's because when you empty your cookies, you will lose their password data saved in Safari as well. And keep in mind that clearing your history also clears its associated cookies.

Luckily, Apple has a solution to this problem. If you use iCloud, check your iCloud settings on your phone or computer.

Make sure that you've checked the box for Safari. As long as this box is checked, any passwords you save through your browser will stay safe in your keychain .

How to clear Safari’s cache and cookies on Mac

There are a handful of situations when clearing Safari’s cookies or cache–one of the places where Safari stores website data to avoid having to download it afresh each time you access a site–can help improve your browsing experience.

The first is when websites simply stop working when you access them on Safari. Perhaps Facebook stops updating with new posts, for example, or the images on a site don’t appear as they should. If this happens, it’s likely the cache has become corrupted.

Alternatively, if you find that personal info automatically completed on sites isn’t correct, deleting cookies can help. These are small files that sites use to save data about you and what you do on the site.

Even if none of these problems affect you, periodically cleaning browser data can help protect your privacy from snoops who want to discover what you’ve been up to online. In this article, therefore, we explain how to clear Safari’s cache and cookies on Mac.

We also have an article that explains How to clear cache on a Mac.

How to clear Safari cookies and cache for websites

Cleaning cookies and the cache data for individual sites can be done via Safari’s Settings/Preferences.

• Open Safari
• Click on Safari in the menu at the top of the screen.
• Click on Settings or Preferences (depending on the version of macOS you are running).
• Go to the Privacy tab.
• Click on Manage Website Data…
• Choose Remove All or select websites individually to remove.

After the data is loaded you’ll probably see a long list of websites. You can choose to Remove All or just select individual websites you want to remove from this list. If you want to select a number of different sites you can click on one and then press and hold the Command key to select a second, third or fourth and so on. We recommend that you don’t select hundreds this way – it’s better to delete in batches just in case you have to start over.

If you would prefer to select all and then deselect the ones you want to keep you can do so. Use Command + A to select all, then press and hold Command while clicking on any website you are happy to keep in this list. Just click Remove afterwards, not Done, as that will just undo all your hard work.

There’s a search field you can use to track down individual sites.

Bear in mind that deleting cookies might remove autocompleted login usernames and passwords for sites, and will almost certainly log you out of that site if you’ve configured it to automatically log in each time you visit.

How to clear Safari cache

The hidden Safari Developer menu can be used to clear just the cache, leaving cookies and the browser history in place. This is a very useful diagnostic step to take before removing those two items if a website behaves badly.

If you just want to clear all your cache you can do so by following these steps:

• Open Safari.
• Click on Safari in menu bar at top of screen.
• Click on Settings/Preferences (depending on the version of macOS you are running).
• Click on the Advanced tab.
• Check the box beside Show Develop Menu in Menu Bar.
• Now there will be a new Develop tab in the menu at the top of your screen. Click on this.
• Click on Empty Caches.

Alternatively click on Option/Alt + Command + E.

Close any open Safari windows and select Empty Caches on the Develop menu. Then click File > New Window to start Safari with a clean cache.

How to remove autocomplete data from AutoFill

Safari’s AutoFill tool can fill in username and password details on websites as well as credit card details and other elements like your address and email details.

This can be really useful, but it can also be annoying if the data it fills in is incorrect or out of context. It’s also a problem when AutoFill helpfully enters old or incorrect passwords or emails and addresses.

You can change this data, or delete it by following these steps:

• Click on Safari.
• Click on Settings/Preferences.
• Choose the AutoFill tab.
• Here you can edit contact information, usernames and passwords, credit cards and other data. Click on Edit beside the category you want access to.
• You’ll need to enter your password or use Touch ID to gain access.

Delete incorrect data: If you are finding that Safari is autofilling incorrect data about you–your address, for example–click Edit beside Using information from my contacts. This will open up your Contacts app. Your card will be at the top or under My Card. You can add and amend data about you here.

Delete incorrect passwords and site logins: If you wanted to delete incorrect passwords, for example, you can just click on the Passwords tab. If you know which password you want to remove search for the website or service and then find the older password option (if there is more than one) and select it and then click on the – below the column to remove it. You can then select Delete Password. If that means there is no password saved for that website, you can then recreate the entry for the site by clicking the Add button. You’ll first need to provide the URL of the site (that is, something like https://facebook.com ), and then type the username and password alongside (hit the Tab key to move from field to field).

See: How to autofill passwords, bank cards, names and addresses for more.

Delete logins and passwords system-wide

Pruning site logins can also be done via the Keychain Access app, which you’ll find in the Utilities folder of the Applications list in Finder, although you should be very careful using this app because it pretty much controls the entire security operation of your Mac! However, by removing errant username and password entries here you’ll stop virtually all of your Mac apps using them, and not just Safari.

Just type the name of the site into the Search field, and look in the list of results for entries of the kind Web Form Password. Right-click the entry and select Delete.

Clear your browsing history in Safari on Mac

You can remove all records that Safari keeps of where you’ve browsed during a period of time you choose. If your Mac and your other Apple devices have iCloud set up for Safari , your browsing history is removed from all of them. Clearing your browsing history in Safari doesn’t clear any browsing histories kept independently by websites you visited.

Open Safari for me

Choose how far back you want your browsing history cleared.

When you clear your history, Safari removes data it saves as a result of your browsing, including:

History of webpages you visited

The back and forward list for open webpages

Frequently visited site list

Recent searches

Icons for webpages

Snapshots saved for open webpages

List of items you downloaded (downloaded files aren’t removed)

How to Clear Safari Browsing History and Cache

Whenever you browse the web in Safari, the browser stores website data so that it doesn't have to download it again each time you revisit a site. In theory this should speed up your browsing experience, but there are some scenarios where you might want to clear the cache and start anew. Keep reading to learn how it's done on Mac, iPhone , and iPad .

If a site you regularly frequent has elements that have stopped working, or if a site has stopped loading completely, there may be a conflict between an older version of it that Safari has cached and a newer one.

Or perhaps you simply want to protect your privacy by wiping the slate clean and removing all the data associated with websites you've visited. Either way, here's how it's done on macOS and iOS.

How to Clear Safari's Cache on Mac

There are two ways to clear Safari's cache on a Mac. The first method outlined below deletes everything relating to a website you've visited, including not only the cached versions of the site, but also cookies and any other related data. The second method described offers a more targeted approach and clears only Safari's cache, but it does involve enabling a hidden menu.

• Launch Safari browser on your Mac.

How to Clear Safari's Cache on iPhone and iPad

Note that the following steps clear all history, cookies and website data on your device, regardless of when the sites were accessed.

• Launch the Settings app on your iOS device.
• Scroll down and select Safari .
• Scroll down and select Clear History and Website Data .
• Choose the timeframe to clear ( Last hour , Today , Today and yesterday , or All history ), choose the profile or select All Profiles , then tap Clear History .

For another way to protect your privacy while browsing the web, be sure to check out our guide on how to use Safari's Private Browsing Mode .

How to clear the cache in Safari on Mac and iPhone - and what it does

Like every web browser, Safari stores data on your Mac , iPhone , and iPad , with the express purpose of speeding up your online life. You may have the kind of internet speed that Apple Park takes for granted, but even so, it's better to spend that speed where it's needed.

So when you revisit a website, Safari makes it so that as far as possible, you only need to download what has changed. Even with a news site that is being updated all day, the basic layout, the furniture of the page, doesn't change all that often, so Safari might as well download it once.

Behind the scenes, then, whenever you ask Safari to go to a site, it goes there with half an eye on what elements of the site it has already stored on your device. Then it will load up anything it can from your device, because retrieving locally stored data is always faster than downloading it.

No question, a Safari cache is a good thing. Except when it isn't.

When you should clear Safari's cache

It's possible for things to go wrong. If Safari doesn't appear to be loading a site, it could be that there's some data corruption in the cache.

Or it could be simply that you are tight on space and all of this invisibly stored cache data is taking up a lot of room. When you're particularly low on space, you know it, too, because your device runs noticeably slower.

So if you are having problems any time you're browsing the web on a Mac, iPhone, or iPad, clearing the cache is at the very least a good first troubleshooting step.

You don't want to inadvertently introduce new problems or inconveniences, though. And clearing caches could also remove passwords that you thought Safari was saving for you.

So before you empty the cache, make sure that Safari is saving those passwords. On the Mac, go to System Preferences, click on Apple ID , then iCloud .

Or on iOS, open Settings , tap on your name at the top, then iCloud .

In either case, then check that Safari is turned on. With the Mac, that means a tick box is on, and with iOS, it means the slider button is turned on and showing green.

How to clear the cache in Safari on Mac

• Launch Safari
• Click on the Safari menu at top left
• Choose Preferences
• Click on Advanced
• Tick the Show Develop menu in menu bar to set it to on
• Close the Preferences window, and open the Develop menu
• Choose Empty Caches

There is no OK button, and then no visible confirmation that the caches have been cleared. But they have been.

How to clear the cache in Safari on iPhone and iPad

• Open Settings
• Scroll down to Safari and tap
• Choose Clear History and Website Data
• Confirm by tapping the new Clear History and Data button that pops up

Unlike with the Mac, there is a visible indication that the cache has been cleared. The option for Clear History and Website Data is greyed out and unavailable.

Note that it won't stay unavailable. It is immediately available the moment you do anything more in Safari.

What happens next

Once you have cleared the cache, you will typically find that some site loading problems are resolved. You'll also find that your device runs faster.

Except, of course, the next time you browse to a website, it will load a little slower than you're used to. But that will speed up again - once Safari has once more cached the site.

Comments: 13 Responses to “How To Clear Cache and Cookies In Safari”

Why do you have 2 entries for Wikipedia in the list and why didn't you remove both of them?

Jean-Claude: One is Wikipedia, the other is Wikimedia. If I had a reason to remove both, I would. I'm just demonstrating here.

Very useful and helpful. Thank you.

What is the MacOS path to the cookies?

Frederick: Website data is stored in a few locations, depending on the type. Traditional cookies are found in /Users⁩/(user)/⁨Library/Cookies⁩/Cookies.binarycookies but you should NOT try to work with that or the other files directly. Instead, use the technique I show in the video.

Just the information I have been looking for. I immediately used my new knowledge for a website I have trouble with. Unfortunately, It didn't work. For quite awhile now, I can not get to this one website on Safari but if I try on Chrome I can get straight to it. Do you have any other ideas as to why this is happening?

Linda: What website?

Comcast/Xfinity

I think I figured it out. I decided to google xfinity internet account login and try what came up. That seems to work. So, probably the bookmarked link I was using was old, or had been changed. But, thanks for the nifty information about cache and cookies. I know it will come in handy.

If I use both iCloud Keychain and Lastpass to fill in usernames and passwords, is there any other reason besides login info that I should keep cookies and cache around and not just clear them all regularly?

David: It will probably slow you down and diminish the experience at many sites. Typically, when you log into a site you remain logged in a for a while -- a week, a month, etc. Clearing your cookies will basically log you out of everything. So for the next day or so you'll be logging in everywhere you go. It makes for a painful day where every little thing you "check" online requires a login. And some sites use website data for other things like remembering you preferences. You may also want to ask the question "Is there any reason to clear them?"

How is this different from Finder --> Go (with Option pressed)--> Library, and then clearing the Cache?

sury: I would not recommend that most users go poking around in their Library folder unless they know what they are doing. Also, the location of the Safari cache and cookies is not obvious. Plus, it doesn't allow you to clear out website data for just a a single site. So in all, it is probably a worse option in most situations.

How to Safely Clear Cached Files on Your Mac

Last Updated: March 15, 2023 Fact Checked

Clear the Application Cache

Is your Mac not running as well as it used to? If your MacBook or Mac desktop computer is low on space, running slow, or you're having trouble with certain apps, clearing your cache can resolve these issues. You can also delete other caches on your Mac, including your web browsing cache in Safari, and, in some cases, the system cache (although this can be risky if not performed properly). This wikiHow guide will teach you how to safely clear the cache on your Mac.

Things You Should Know

• To clear your Mac's application (user) cache, delete all files and folders in ~/Library/Caches .
• To clear your web browsing cache in Safari, enable the Develop menu in Safari > Settings > Advanced , then select "Empty Caches" from the Develop menu.
• The safest way to clear your Mac's system cache is to boot into Safe Mode, and then boot up normally.
• You can delete files from your Mac's system cache manually, but it could freeze your computer and cause other problems.

• Close as many open programs as possible before you delete your application cache (also known as the user cache).
• Clearing your Mac's application cache is a safe way to reclaim disk space and troubleshoot problematic applications. Your Mac caches files to improve the speed of apps and services on your computer, so you may notice a small lag the first time you re-open certain apps.

• You can also get here by clicking the Go menu and selecting Go to Folder… .

• If you see an error telling you that one or more of the files can't be deleted, they're being used by an application that's open. Skip deleting these files for now, then try deleting them later when the programs in question aren't open.
• Check out our Mac optimization guide for more tips and tricks to improve your Mac's performance.

• If you already see a Develop menu item in the bar at the top of the screen, skip to Step 5.
• If you use Google Chrome to browse the web instead of Safari, check out our guide to clearing the cache in Chrome .

• You can now close the Advanced window.

• Booting into Safe Mode clears the font cache, kernel cache, and other system caches. Your Mac then rebuilds these caches automatically.
• The steps to boot into Safe Mode are different depending on whether your Mac has an Apple silicon or Intel processor. To find out your processor type, click the Apple menu and select About This Mac . [3] X Research source

• Turn off your Mac.
• Press and hold the power button until you see the Startup Options window. [4] X Research source
• Select your startup disk.
• Press and hold the Shift key as you click Continue in Safe Mode .
• Sign in to your Mac.
• Reboot your Mac normally when you're finished and your system will start caching again as needed.

• Press and hold the Shift key as you turn your Mac back on.
• Release Shift when you see the login window.
• Sign in to your Mac (you may have to do this twice). Once signed in, you'll see Safe Boot window at the top-right corner of the window.
• Restart your Mac to clear your system cache.

• Clearing your Mac's system cache manually is not recommended, as it could cause your Mac to freeze . If you want to clear the system cache safely, you should do so in Safe Mode .
• If you want to delete files from the system cache manually anyway, use this method to do so. You will need to be an administrator to clear the system cache files.

• Clearing the system cache may cause your Mac to crash. While your Mac should restart and begin working again without any problems, make sure that your work is saved and that you've exited any open programs before clearing the system cache. Thanks Helpful 1 Not Helpful 0

Im Browsercache sammeln sich eine Menge unnötiger Daten. Wie Sie den Cache in Safari leeren, erklären wir Ihnen hier.

Like every other Internet browser, Safari uses a cache to help it serve web pages as quickly and efficiently as it can.  Occasionally the browser cache can cause issues such as Safari not displaying the most recent version of a web page. In this article, I’ll show you two ways to clear the cache in Safari on a Mac—the first, using keyboard shortcuts and the second, using navigation menus. I’ll also show you how to clear website data and cookies in Safari.

Table of Contents

What safari’s browser cache is.

You may have encountered the term browser cache . The subject of caches is a broad one since, behind the scenes, they can be in your browser, in the servers where websites are hosted, or in the software that a website uses for design purposes.

Safari’s cache is the only one we’ll concern ourselves with in this article.

In the most basic terms, Safari’s cache normally keeps a copy of website pages you’ve visited unless hidden code on the server tells it not to.

Safari keeps a copy of those pages to help it display them more quickly the next time you visit them. Like other browsers, Safari may temporarily store the text and images from a web page when you visit it.

One way this can help pages load faster is by “reusing” page assets that are common across several pages on the site. One example might be the logo in the site header. If the logo is loaded on the first page visited, and the same logo image is used on other pages you visit, the logo image should be loaded on the first page and reused on following pages.

The next time you visit (using the same browser—Safari, in this case), the page should load faster because Safari will use the stored text and images instead of waiting for them to travel long distances from the website’s server. That time saved in loading the text and images shows itself when the webpage takes less time to become useful to you.

In some cases a page that is updated many times a day—such as one on a news site—may not be saved in the browser cache. That insures you see the most up to date version of the page each time you visit.

Note: The browser cache is not exactly the same thing as your browsing history or cookies. I’ll show you how to clear those later in this article.

When Safari’s cache needs to be cleared

There are a number of things that could indicate Safari’s cache should be cleared.

• Perhaps you aren’t seeing an updated page on a website.
• Maybe a website that you frequent seems to be loading or responding slowly.
• You may be having difficulty logging in when normally you can breeze right in.

If you are learning to create websites you may have come across the situation where changes you’ve made to the website in the back-end appear not to have been saved when you view the site on the front-end. The problem is often just that your browser is not keeping up with you. It is showing versions of your website that don’t include your most recent changes.

How to clear the cache in Safari

Whether you’ve been told to empty, clear, or delete your cache, it means the same thing. The person who gave you those instructions is telling you to delete the previously stored website content so that the browser will know to load a new version of the page.

For security and other reasons, you should always be using the most up to date version of your browser. Be sure you are running the most version of Safari, then follow the instructions below.

Clear the cache in Safari using a keyboard shortcut

To use a keyboard shortcut to empty the browser cache in Safari, you’ll first need to activate the Develop menu . Do that by going in the top menus to Safari > Preferences > Advanced . Then at the bottom of the Advanced settings tab, tick the box next to Show Develop Menu in Menu Bar .

Once you’ve ticked that box, you can use the shortcut Option + Command + E to empty the cache in Safari.

Note that you won’t see another settings box appear. The cache will simply be emptied behind the scenes.

Clear the Safari browser cache using menus

To clear the cache in Safari using menus, you’ll need the Develop menu activated. If you don’t see the Develop menu , read the previous section titled  How to clear the browser cache in Safari  for instructions on how to make the Develop menu available.

Once it is available, you can clear your cache by opening the Develop menu , then half-way down, click Empty Caches .

Clear the Safari browser cache for one site only

• Select Preferences from the Safari menu .
• Open the  Privacy tab .
• Click the Manage Website Data… button .

A window will open which will fill with a list of all the websites that have data saved in Safari. When the list has finished loading, scroll through the list to find the website whose cache you want to clear. Click the name of the site to select it, then click the Remove button .

Browsing history and cookies in Safari

When you visit a website, browsers typically save certain bits of information. Most of that information can be used to make your future browsing experience easier. For example, the browser will usually save a record of your browsing so that you can go back to a previous page you visited. Using the forward button on the browser would then take you back to the website where you started.

You might remember visiting a website a few days earlier and look into your browser history to find out the address of that website.

Those are but two examples of ways that allowing browsers to save certain information about your browsing can be helpful. However, there can come a time when you want or need to clear all of the browsing information that your browser has collected. Perhaps you will begin to share a computer and don’t want another person to know your browsing habits.

Cookies are another bit that browsers save. They sound mysterious and can sometimes be denied simply because you’ve heard so much bad about them without ever hearing of their possible usefulness.

A cookie is simply a small bit of code that is saved on your computer when you visit many websites. You’ve heard of tracking cookies that allow advertisers to track your browsing habits so they can present ads across the Internet that are more likely to match your needs. That is one type of cookie.

There are other cookies that you probably use on a daily basis without knowing it. For example, you probably visit a site where you are a customer or you have a membership that requires you to log in. When you arrive at the site, you might see your name somewhere on the site, possibly near the login link or button. A cookie is what allows that website to recognize you as one of their frequent users.

Some sites may allow you to stay logged in even after you leave. Then when you come back, you can march on in without signing in every time. You can thank a cookie for that privilege (although it’s not always a wise idea to stay logged into a site after you leave).

Clear browsing history and cookies in Safari

Sometime over the course of your online life, you will almost certainly come across a situation where you can’t log in on a website or something about the website isn’t reflecting the most current information. To resolve the issue, the website’s support team may suggest that you clear the cookies for that website which are stored on your computer.

To do that in Safari, use one of the following methods, whichever is appropriate for your situation. With either method, after you delete your cookies for a site where you may have stayed logged in, you will probably have to log in again. That will reset the cookie in your browser.

If the history or cookies that you want to delete apply to browsing you did in the past few days, you can go through the History menu.

• Click on the History menu .
• Click on the very last item in the menu: Clear history… .
• Click on the dropdown list labeled Since . It probably says the last hour .
• The last hour
• Today and yesterday
• All history
• Select the one that is most appropriate.

Browsing history and any cookies that have been set or used within the chosen period will be deleted.

The second option gives you more control over the websites whose cookies you wish to remove. This uses the same Manage Website Data function that you used to delete a single website’s cache earlier in this tutorial.

• A window will open which will fill with a list of all the websites that have data saved in Safari.
• Click the Remove All button to empty the list and delete the cache and cookies for all websites in the list.

If you want to remove cookies or other data for just one website in the list, click the name of the website to highlight it. Click the Remove button to clear the data and cookies for that one site.

To select multiple sites, click on the first one you want to delete. Hold the Command key as you select any others you want to delete.

Apple’s official documentation – How to Clear Browsing History in Safari on a Mac

Change the default search engine in Safari

If you are concerned about your browsing privacy, you might also consider changing the default browser that Safari uses.

Like Firefox, Safari—an Apple Product—is not owned by a company that also has its own search engine (at least not yet). In Safari you can select from the same search engine options that Chrome offers. Those are:

Here’s how to set your favorite search engine in Safari:

• Go to the menu at the top of the screen. Choose Safari , then Preferences .
• From the Preferences window , select the Search tab .
• The first item on that setting page is Search engine . Click in that drop-down menu and select the search engine you’d like to use.

The search engine you set will be the one that processes any searches that you type into the Safari address bar.

How to Clear the Browser Cache in Safari on Mac

This article explains how you can clear cache in the Apple Safari browser on your Mac. Safari temporarily stores Internet files (images, web site pages and files, etc.) when you visit websites to reduce server lag so that you can view the websites faster in the future.

Why Reddit Has Become My Main "Social Media" App

Microsoft will pay you to use bing: here's how my attempt to cash-in went, 5 things i never back up to the cloud.

If you use Safari on Mac and would like to quickly clear your browser history without digging through menus, you can take care of it with a keyboard shortcut and a click by creating a custom shortcut in System Preferences . Here's how.

First, we'll need to visit "System Preferences" to create the custom keyboard shortcut. On your Mac, click the "Apple" icon in the upper-left corner and select "System Preferences."

In "System Preferences," select "Keyboard." In "Keyboard" preferences, click the "Shortcuts" tab.

In the sidebar menu, click "App Shortcuts."

Click the plus sign (+) located near the bottom of the window to add a new shortcut.

A pop-up window will appear. First, click the drop-down menu labeled "Application" and select "Safari.app."

In the "Menu Title" text box, enter "

" exactly. It must include the three dots at the end, as it must match the existing menu command in Safari under the "History" menu.

Next, select the "Keyboard Shortcut" box and type the shortcut you want to use to clear Safari's browser history. We chose Shift+Command+H, but you can enter any unused keyboard combination.

Then click the "Add" button, and the shortcut will be added to the list. You're now clear to close System Preferences (unless you want to tweak the keyboard shortcut key combination after testing it out.)

Open "Safari" and press the keyboard shortcut you just defined. A small pop-over window will appear with a drop-down menu and two buttons. In the "Clear" menu, you can choose how much of your history is cleared. When you're ready, click the "Clear History" button.

Your Safari browsing history will be cleared to whatever level you selected. Safari will remember the setting you chose in the "Clear" menu, so next time you call up the window with your custom shortcut, you can just click the "Clear History" button.

If you find yourself frequently clearing your browser history, consider trying Safari's Private Browsing mode , which is a special mode that doesn't keep track of your browsing history. You can even configure Safari to start with a Private window every time you open the app .

The layout of the Settings app is designed to provide easy access to a wide range of features, including those related to Safari, the default web browser on your device.

As you navigate through the Settings app, take note of the various sections and options available to you. The app is organized into different categories, such as General, Display & Brightness, and Safari, among others. These categories house specific settings that you can modify to tailor your iPad experience.

Step 2: Scroll down and tap on Safari

After successfully opening the Settings app on your iPad, the next crucial step in the process of clearing the cache in Safari involves scrolling down within the Settings interface and tapping on the "Safari" option. This action will grant you access to a range of specific settings and preferences related to the Safari web browser , allowing you to delve deeper into the browser's configurations and functionalities.

As you scroll down within the Settings app, you will encounter a diverse array of options and categories, each serving a unique purpose in customizing your iPad experience. The act of scrolling down signifies a transition towards uncovering the Safari settings, which are pivotal for managing the cache and optimizing the browser's performance.

Upon reaching the "Safari" option, you will be presented with a wealth of settings that are designed to empower you with control over various aspects of the Safari browser. These settings encompass a wide spectrum of functionalities, ranging from privacy and security features to content and search engine preferences, all of which contribute to shaping your browsing experience.

Tapping on the "Safari" option will open a dedicated interface that is tailored to the specific configurations and preferences associated with the Safari browser. This interface serves as a gateway to fine-tuning the browser's behavior, ensuring that it aligns with your individual browsing habits and requirements.

By tapping on the "Safari" option, you are taking a proactive step towards gaining insight into the inner workings of the Safari browser, enabling you to make informed decisions about its settings and functionalities. This level of control empowers you to optimize the browser's performance and address any issues related to cache accumulation, ultimately enhancing your overall browsing experience.

As you navigate through the "Safari" settings, take note of the various options available to you, each offering a unique opportunity to tailor the browser to your preferences. Familiarizing yourself with these settings will equip you with the knowledge needed to effectively manage the cache and ensure that Safari operates at its best.

With the "Safari" settings now accessible, you are poised to delve deeper into the cache-clearing process, bringing you one step closer to optimizing your browsing environment and enjoying a smoother web surfing experience.

Step 3: Scroll down and tap on Clear History and Website Data

As you navigate through the "Safari" settings on your iPad, the next pivotal step in the cache-clearing process involves scrolling down within the Safari settings interface until you locate the "Clear History and Website Data" option. This essential feature allows you to effectively manage the cache and browsing history stored within the Safari browser, providing you with the means to optimize its performance and address any issues related to accumulated data.

Upon finding the "Clear History and Website Data" option, tapping on it will initiate the process of clearing the cache and browsing history within Safari. This action serves as a proactive measure to free up storage space and ensure that the browser fetches the latest versions of web pages and resources, thereby enhancing your overall browsing experience.

This pause allows you to reaffirm your decision to clear the cache and browsing history within Safari, emphasizing the proactive nature of this optimization process. By confirming the action, you are actively contributing to the enhancement of Safari's performance and the overall browsing experience on your iPad.

How To Clear Your Safari Browser Cache on PC

When you use Safari to browse the Internet, you accumulate a lot of temporary Internet files. These improve the browsing experience for the most part. However, they can also prove to be a bit of a hassle over the long-term.

And keeping the temp files cleaned up once in a while can solve a lot of problems.

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to clear the cache in Safari and go into a bit of why you should. It only takes a few moments and is often a good idea to do so on a regular basis.

What is a Cache in Safari and Why Clear it?

Safari stores temporary Internet files in what’s called a “cache.” It’s a location on the computer which allows the browser to pull information regarding specific websites.

For example, your computer will load images and files from the cache instead of downloading them each time you visit a site. This improves the overall experience by making the site load faster on your end.

However, the cache can also contribute to a few problems. Here are just some of the more common you might want to consider:

• You Could Save Bad Website Coding Let’s say you visit a page and the coding isn’t right. Perhaps you’re troubleshooting problems you’re having on a particular page. Sometimes the cache will store that coding even if you save changes. Clearing the cache lets you download the most current version of that site.
• Can Take Up a Lot of Hard Drive Space Images and files stored in the cache can eat up a lot of room on your computer. If you spend a lot of time browsing the Internet, you could save several gigabytes worth of images alone. Clearing the cache in Safari will free up that space.
• Other Users Can Explore What You Browse From the history of URLs you visit to the images saved from websites, anyone sitting at your computer can see what you’ve been exploring. Deleting all of the information saved in Safari can stop others from snooping through your Internet usage.

Not everyone wants to use a privacy mode where passwords are not saved and the cache is emptied automatically. Clearing the Safari cache lets you choose when that information is removed.

Clearing the Safari Browser Cache on a PC

Open the Safari browser on your computer and click the gear icon in the browser window.

Click the option to “Reset Safari.”

In this window, you can select what elements you want to clear in the Safari browser cache on the PC.

For example, you can choose to remove all website icons, save the names and passwords and clear the downloads window by selecting the checkboxes.

Once you’ve decided what parts you want to be deleted, click the “Reset” button on the bottom.

This will remove the data you selected and relaunch the Safari web browser.

Keeping Your Browser Cleaned Up

When you clear the temporary Internet files from Safari, you’re improving the efficiency of the browser as well as your computer. The last thing you want is Safari taking up terabytes worth of space because of downloaded images.

And while this may sound like an absurd figure, keep in mind that every site you visit will download data to your computer. Over the long-term, you can acquire a vast number of useless files and information.

¿Celular lento? Trucos para mejorar su rendimiento: tardará 10 minutos en hacerlo

Sepa cómo eliminar caché y acelerar tanto su celular android como iphone.

El celular se ha convertido en una herramienta clave para la cotidianidad de la mayoría de las personas en el mundo. Se usa para almacenar información, chatear con amigos o compañeros de trabajo o hasta como una herramienta clave en su trabajo .

Precisamente por todos los usos y herramientas nuevas que tienen estos dispositivos, algunos de ellos, con el paso del tiempo, puede volverse lentos, pero, ¿cómo mejorar su rendimiento? En la siguiente nota exploramos las razones por la que esto ocurre y algunos trucos para recuperar la velocidad del celular, tanto iPhone como Android .

¿Por qué se vuelve lento su celular?

Las explicaciones de este comportamiento del móvil pueden ser varias. Sin embargo, como explica en un artículo Avast, un software antivirus y una suite de seguridad, las razones más comunes por las que esto podría suceder son:

• Actividad en segundo plano: ojo con las aplicaciones en segundo plano, pues estas podrían ser la causa de que su celular sea más lento. Esto sucede especialmente con los móviles más antiguos que no están diseñados para manejar mucha actividad en segundo plano.
• Mala configuración: algunas veces, la lentitud de su celular se puede dar por una mala configuración de las aplicaciones, así que si nota que el comportamiento de su celular cambia con cierta aplicación, lo que debe hacer es revisar la configuración de esta app.
• Se tiene un sistema operativo antiguo: algunas versiones de los sistemas operativos suelen tener errores, así que debe estar pendiente siempre de las actualizaciones que se anuncian en la tienda de apps de su celular.
• El hardware está presentando fallas: según explica el artículo, un problema en el hardware impide que su teléfono alcance su máxima velocidad. Usualmente, esto pasa por un sobrecalentamiento del dispositivo, un defecto en la CPU, en la RAM o por una batería defectuosa.
• Espacio de almacenamiento limitado: cuando se va llenando la memoria, algunas funciones pueden afectarse y esto puede producir que el móvil termine funcionando de una manera más lenta.

¿Su iPhone está lento? Así puede mejorar su velocidad

• ¿Lo ha pensado? Esto es lo que el color de su celular dice de su personalidad
• Esto pasaría con su celular si activa los datos y el wifi al mismo tiempo
• ¿Lo sabía? Hay un orden correcto para conectar el celular y el cargador: cuál es y por qué

El rendimiento de los iPhone suelen perderse al paso de dos o tres años, sin embargo, estos celulares suelen mantenerse con una buena velocidad por un gran tiempo .

En caso de que su iPhone haya comenzado a funcionar lento, iDeviceHelp, un canal especializado en tecnología y en las últimas actualizaciones de iOS de Apple, explica 4 trucos para recuperar su velocidad :

• Caché y Cookies de Safari: debe dirigirse a configuraciones, encontrar la extensión de Safari en el menú y, en la parte inferior, seleccionar la opción de avanzado . Una vez allí, seleccione la opción que dice ‘Datos de sitios web’ y allí le mostrará todos los datos y caché que guarda. Para eliminarlos, solo debe presionar en ‘ Eliminar todos los datos ’.
• Mensajes: es importante mantener su almacenamiento limpio, por eso se recomienda eliminar los mensajes que no son relevantes. De igual forma, es clave que recuerde que iPhone tiene una papelera de mensajes, para desocuparla, deberá seleccionar ‘Editar’ dentro de la aplicación y presionar la opción ‘Mostrar eliminados’. Una vez allí, podrá eliminar los mensajes permanentemente .
• Ubicaciones guardadas: Apple suele guardar mucha información sobre las ubicaciones más recientes que ha tenido su celular y esto puede ocupar memoria y volver más lento su celular. Para eliminar estos datos, diríjase a ‘Privacidad y seguridad ’, ‘ Localización ’, en la parte inferior, seleccione ‘Servicios del sistema’ y ‘ Ubicaciones importantes’. Deberá colocar su contraseña y en la parte final está la opción de ‘ Borrar historial ’.
• Limpie la opción de eliminados recientes en fotos: para hacerlo, diríjase a la aplicación de Fotos y en Álbum, en la parte inferior, está ubicada la opción ‘Eliminados recientes’, seleccione esta opción y elimine todas las fotos que están allí de manera permanente.

Trucos para mejorar el rendimiento de su Android

Para el caso de los celulares Android, el artículo de la plataforma de antivirus Avast, hace algunas recomendaciones para conseguir que su celular recupere fácilmente su rapidez :

• Reinicie su celular: de esta manera borrará su memoria y el celular podrá tener espacio para hacer una rápida actualización que podría ayudarlo a acelerar las operaciones.
• Libere espacio y borre aplicaciones antiguas: esto le ayudará a mantener la pantalla organizada y deshacerse de apps que no usa, mejorando así su espacio de almacenamiento.
• Borre los datos de navegación: diríjase a Chrome y seleccione los 3 puntos de la esquina superior derecha. Allí encontrará la opción de Borrar datos de navegación. De esta manera también eliminará la memoria caché.
• Cierre pestañas del navegador: tener muchas pestañas del navegador abiertas puede ralentizar su dispositivo y especialmente su navegación en internet. Haga una revisión de las pestañas que tiene abiertas y cierre las que ya no está usando .
• Actualice su sistema operativo: recuerde que mantener su dispositivo actualizado le ayudará a mantener su celular en buen funcionamiento y muy ágil.
• Restablezca los valores predeterminados: si el dispositivo continúa lento, una gran opción es que restablezca los valores predeterminados de su teléfono. Esta es una opción radical, pero que puede ser muy útil para eliminar datos o virus en su celular. Antes de borrar toda la información, recuerde hacer una copia de seguridad y almacenar todo en un lugar seguro.
