Why do I need to Reset or Clear the Cache and Cookies on my Browser?
Whenever you browse a website, your computer's browser tends to temporarily hold on to files related to that website. This is so that the next time you check that site, its files (such as its layout, text, and images) will load faster.
However, when changes are made to the website, you might not see these changes right away because your browser is still referring to the older files that it is holding on to.
Clearing your browser's cache and cookies should allow your browser to fetch the updated version of the site.
When editing your myRealPage website, and you have noticed that your edits are not being displayed despite successfully Saving those changes, try clearing your browser's cache and cookies first.
