Experiencing Issues with Your rasa.io Dashboard? Consider Clearing Your Cache
If your rasa.io dashboard (or any website) is running slow or experiencing issues loading, it may be helpful to clear your browser cache. A hard refresh is a critical action in web browsing that clears a browser's cache for a specific page, compelling it to load the most recent version of that page directly from the server. This process ensures that users can access the latest content, scripts, styles, or features without relying on locally stored data. Understanding how to perform a hard refresh can enhance the browsing experience and resolve certain issues related to outdated content or errors.
What is Browser Cache? Browser cache is a temporary storage location on a user's device where web pages, images, scripts, and other elements are stored to expedite subsequent visits to the same website. When a user revisits a previously accessed page, the browser can retrieve elements from the cache rather than downloading them again from the server. While this caching mechanism boosts loading speeds and reduces server load, it can occasionally lead to displaying outdated content.
