In order to speed up web browsing, web browsers are designed to download web pages and store them locally on your computer's hard drive in an area called "cache". Browser cache (also know as Internet cache) contains records of every item you have viewed or downloaded while Internet surfing. So when you visit the same page for a second time, the browser speeds up display time by loading the page locally from cache instead of downloading everything again.
Although storing Internet cache makes web browser faster as it usually takes your computer less time to display a web page when it can open page's elements or even the entire page from your local Temporary Internet Files folder, Internet cache can threat to your privacy as everyone who has access to your computer can see some personal information by simply opening the cache folder. Anyone can see what videos you've watched, what pictures you've seen, where you've been online and more.
Also when the cache fills up, performance can slow down and your hard drive may run out of space.
You should periodically clear cache to protect your privacy and speed and performance of your browser.

 What is browser cache?
Browser cache (also known as Temporary Internet files) stores the content of all the web pages that you have visited (including pictures, animation, movies, etc) during a session. This speeds up the displaying of pages you frequently visit as a web browser can open them from your hard disk instead of downloading them from the web. However, it can threat to your privacy because everyone who has access to your computer can see some personal information - by simply opening the cache file/folder (Temporary Internet Files), anyone can see what videos you've watched, what pictures you've seen, where you've been online and more. Using Clear All History you can:
clear cache in Internet Explorer
