How Internet Explorer cache settings affect your web browsing
The more files you can load from your hard disk, the faster your browsing speed but these pages might have changed since being stored on your computer. Internet Explorer provides n easy way to set how often you want Internet Explorer checks for updated content.
Update cache settings in Internet Explorer
Every visit to the page
When you return to a page you viewed previously, Internet Explorer should check to see whether the page changed since you last viewed it. If the page has changed, Internet Explorer displays the new page and stores it in the Temporary Internet Files. Note: selecting this option can slow down web browsing.
Every time you start Internet Explorer
When you view a web page that you have visited before in the same Internet Explorer session, Internet Explorer uses cached temporary Internet files instead of downloading the page.
Automatically
If you select this setting, Internet Explorer checks for new content only when you return to a page that you viewed in an earlier session of Internet Explorer or on an earlier day. Over time, if Internet Explorer determines that images on the page are changing infrequently, it checks for newer images even less frequently.
Never
Internet Explorer does not check for newer content.
You can easily change cache settings in Internet Explorer to improve browsing performance.
