If you go back to that website, Safari loads the cached page in an instant, instead of taking the time to retrieve the page from the internet again.

But an overloaded cache can take up storage space and cause your device to run inefficiently -and it could use a periodic clearing.

Quick tip: Along with cache, clearing cookies and browsing history on Safari may help resolve performance issues.
