Who This Is For / When to Use

This article is for Kyrios users who are experiencing issues such as pages not loading correctly, changes not appearing, buttons not responding, or integrations behaving unexpectedly.


Why Clearing Your Browser Cache Helps

Browser cache stores temporary files such as images, scripts, and site data to improve load speed.

When cache becomes outdated or corrupted, it can cause:

  • Pages to display old information

  • Buttons or forms to stop working

  • Pages to appear stuck in a loading loop

Clearing cache forces the browser to load the most recent version of a website.
