Temporary internet files are small pieces of data stored on your computer when you visit websites. These files include images, scripts, and other content that help your browser load pages faster on subsequent visits. By saving this information, your browser can reduce the time it takes to display a webpage, improving your overall browsing experience. Over time, temporary internet files can accumulate and take up storage space on your device. Users can clear these files through their browser settings to free up space and potentially improve performance. This process is often referred to as clearing the cache, which can also help resolve loading issues with websites.
