Problem in accessing E-way Bill Portal-Clear Browser Cache

What is Cache?

When you visit a website using a browser (i.e. Internet explorer, Google chrome, Firefox, Mozilla, Safari etc.) it downloads files to a temporary storage location on your computer to display websites. Files that are cached include any documents that form part of a website, such as html files, CSS style sheets, JavaScript scripts, as well as graphic images and other multimedia content.

When the same website is accessed again, the browser first checks which content was updated in the meantime and only downloads updated files. This system of caching reduces bandwidth usage of both the user and server side and enables the web page to load faster. The cache is especially useful with a slow or limited Internet connection. The cache has a size limit, which can be configured. When the cache reaches the limit specified, the idle files are discarded to give way to the new ones.
