Cache memory from the CPU is difficult to experience so we will be using another approach with a similar concept using caches from websites. We can test it using these steps:

1. Clear the browser cache in your browser settings to clear all cache for the test.
2. Enter any website you like and note how long it loads (using a stopwatch).
3. Exit the website.
4. Enter the website again and notice how much quicker it takes to load now.

Browsers receive website content from web servers which takes time. Browser caches store website content in the device’s hard drive to make access to frequently visited websites more efficient and bypass the need to retrieve data from web servers.
