Almost all websites save cache files to your browser to load the website faster whenever you visit. In simple words when you first time visits any website, your browser downloads a copy of that site. That website loads faster when you visit it again in future.

Sounds good? But there is a little problem with it. As your browser has downloaded scripts, CSS, images, etc. of that particular website so, next time when you visit it, you don’t notice any changes if the website owner has made changes in the website because your browser loaded the outdated version of that site.
