How to Clear Cache in Internet Explorer 9 for Select Websites

January 16, 2012

As we browse through various websites, the browser starts collecting and caching information such as our browsing history, saved passwords and more. And often, we find ourselves clearing the browser cache for one reason or another, ending up with more work in refilling the forms and passwords lost in the process. In this tutorial, we’ll take a look at the purpose of caching , why we need to clear cache, and how to clear cache in Internet Explorer 9 for select websites.

Purpose of Browser Caching

Most internet users find that the internet connection they use is pretty slow, meaning that it takes longer for them to get a page to load on their computer. Caching, stores files previously opened on the hard drive, making it faster to open them than downloading them every single time from the internet.

Of course there is a limit on how much content can be cached. When the cache is full,  items that have not been used in a long time are automatically discarded in favor of new items that you’ve opened.

Nothing is perfect and this applies even to caching. There may be times when the browser does not load properly, displays content in haphazard manner or simply hangs up. And the first think you’d think of doing to fix the problem is to clear the cache.

Now there will definitely be times when you don’t want to clear all cookies on the browser, such as when you have pre-populated content on certain sites that you don’t want to redo again. Luckily, if you use Internet Explorer 9, you can clear cache only for specific websites or domains. Let’s see how we can accomplish this.
