Websites aren't made up of one single file, but rather dozens or hundreds of different files, depending on the sophistication of the site. You might have noticed that the first time you load a website on your browser it takes a little bit longer to load than it does on subsequent visits to the same page. This is because in order to display the site, your browser has to download all the necessary files that make up the page from the server it's hosted on, and even when a website has been optimally designed for speed that's still a lot of files.
To try and speed things up a bit for next time, your browser does a nifty little trick and stores copies of some of those files in its cache. When you next visit that page, rather than downloading from the server, your browser will be able to access the files locally, which results in much faster loading times.
This is undoubtedly a very good thing. However, the cache does have its downsides. Websites are constantly being updated, and if your site developer makes a change to a file that your browser has cached, when you next visit the site you won't be able to see the changes; Until you refresh your cache, your browser will just keep using the old file rather than getting the new one off the server.
Your browser will automatically refresh its cache if a certain period of time has elapsed between visits (depending on your browser preferences) but to do this manually when revisiting a recently viewed site all you have to do is click the refresh icon at the top of your browser, or use the keyboard shortcuts of command+R on a Mac and Crrl+R or F5 on a PC.
If, after refreshing, changes still hasn't appeared, you should try clearing your cache. Most browsers have a "Clear Cache", "Clear Browsing Data" or "Clear History" option. (From the latter two you can then select to clear only your cache if you wish.) Once you've done this, remember to refresh the webpage so your browser can grab all the new files from the server - and all of the changes will be visible.
If your site is still not displaying properly confirm that you are running the latest version of your browser, as some older programs may be incompatible with the latest coding languages used by Rhye Media.
*Cookie is another of those words that takes on an entirely different meaning in the world of web software. Known as HTTP, Web or Browser Cookies, these are not delicious snacks, but rather bits of data that are stored in your browser the first time you visit a website. These pieces of data are then retrieved when you re-visit the site, providing the makers with information of your activity on their page. There are various different types of cookie, and although none can transmit viruses or malware, they are often deleted due to privacy concerns. To clear your browser of cookies you can follow the same process used to clear cache.
