Introduction

Cache is a feature in a browser that causes it to store information and images from various Web pages you visit in order to speed up their loading time.
The next time you go to the same page, instead of reloading all the information, the browser simply sends a preview to the server (site), and checks whether the version of the page it has kept is still current. If there were changes to the page in the time period since the last time you signed in, the browser will reload the page. If there are no changes, the browser will load the saved page on the computer, saving the upload time.

In NetFree

In NetFree, this method sometimes encounters a problem, which is mainly expressed in pictures.
Since the determination of whether an image is supposed to be open or blocked occurs in NetFree servers, at the stage of returning the information to the client, while checking whether the web page has changed is done against the server of the site, the browser may receive a response from the original server that there is no change to the page, and reload the saved page, and therefore the same pixelated picture will appear again and again, although in practice it has already been reviewed and approved or disqualified.
Sometimes even if you refresh the page repeatedly, the browser does not reload the page, so the image continues to appear pixelated.

In addition, there may be a case in which a new user of NetFree will see an inappropriate image, when the image is stored in the cache in his browser, and in fact is blocked in NetFree.

The solution to this is to delete the browser's cache one time, forcing the browser to reload the page in all its details.

The actual deletion process in four familiar browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Explorer:
