7. Clear your cookies and cache

Every time you visit a site online, your browser stores (caches) a small file in a folder on your computer, so that the page will load quicker the next time you’re there. That all sounds great, but over time these files, alongside cookies, will build up and eventually slow down your browsing experience.

If you get into the habit of routinely clearing your cookies and cache, you’ll notice a real difference in browsing speed as there is more disk space available now all those files have been cleared. In most browsers, you’ll find the option to clear the cookies and cache by looking in the Browser Options – it will likely say Clear Browsing Data or Clear Cache & Cookies.
