Empty Cache in your Browser

If Lumiform is not performing as usual on the desktop, it might be time to clear the cache of your browser.

If Lumiform is not running properly, clearing the cache can help resolve the issue.

What exactly is a Browser Cache?

When prompted to clear the cache, it means there are stored data that needs attention. Every day, browsers save various types of data, known as caches.

The cache acts as a temporary storage that holds data for quick access later on. This helps      reduce the time needed for future access, making it faster to retrieve and use content. 

As the amount of stored data grows over time, it can lead to errors. It's best to regularly clear the cache to ensure optimal performance of software like Lumiform.
