What is CACHE? Is it good or bad? how can I clear it? How can I speed up my site for viewers around the globe as well as those across the country? We are covering Cloudflare, CDns - Content Delivery Networks, Site CACHE - the memory of your site on servers and your own browsers.

 

 

It can be VERY annoying AND very helpful for site performance. We'll teach you free tools to optimize your site, tell you when to turn these tools on and off so you don't want to throw your computer through the window when you can't see the updated changes.

This is Part 1 of a pair of shows getting a bit nerdy and giving you a better understanding of what happens between your site and your viewers.
