Af hverju að hreinsa skyndiminni og vafrakökur?
Að hreinsa skyndiminni og vafrakökur (Cache and Cookies) úr vafra er mikilvægt fyrsta skref fyrir nánast hvaða bilanaleit sem er þegar vafrinn er til vandræða. „skyndiminni“ er tól sem netvafrarinn þinn notar til að flýta fyrir hleðslu síðunnar. Hins vegar getur það stundum valdið vandræðum þegar vefsíður eru uppfærðar og þróaðar þar sem skrár sem vistaðar eru í skyndiminni geta stangast á við það sem raunverulega er kóðað inn á vefsíðuna. Að hreinsa skyndiminni og vafrakökur er leið til að vera viss um að öll vandamál sem þú gætir rekist á séu í raun eitthvað að vefsíðunni, frekar en ósamræmi af völdum mismunandi vafra.

MIKILVÆGT: Lokaðu vafranum og endurræstu hann eftir að hafa hreinsað skyndiminni og vafrakökur.
Why Clear Cache and Cookies?
Clearing the Cache and Cookies from a web browser an important first-step for almost any troubleshooting for internet browsing. The 'cache' is a tool used by your internet browser to speed up the page loading process. However, sometimes it can cause a problem when websites are updated and developed as files saved in the cache may conflict with what's actually coded into the website. Clearing Cache and Cookies is a way we can be sure that any issues you may come across are actually something wrong with the website, rather than inconsistencies caused by using different browsers.
If you are using Internet Explorer, Edge, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox you can quickly clear cache with a keyboard shortcut. While in your browser, press Ctrl + Shift + Delete simultaneously on the keyboard to open the appropriate window.
IMPORTANT: Be sure and close/quit the browser and restart it after clearing the cache and cookies.
