VIDEO: How to Clear and Reset Safari Cache on a Mac

If your Mac suddenly feels slow, pages refuse to load properly, or Safari starts acting like it has a mind of its own, the culprit is often your cache, the temporary files Safari saves so websites load faster.

Over time, that cache can clutter up, along with cookies (small bits of data websites use to remember you) and browsing history (a record of your online activity). Clearing or resetting all this gives Safari a clean slate, and that’s exactly what you’ll learn how to do in this video.
