Cache
There are many types and applications of cache, with the underlying concept being the same through out the various uses. Cache exists to speed up the access time to data, which otherwise could take longer due to hard drive speeds or the speed of an internet connection. From a website development point of view the cache is used to store parts or complete website pages on your desktop computer to reduce their loading time.
Instead of loading an entire website page each time a user access it, the browser stores parts of the page locally on a hard drive to reduce page loading time.
