Any website you visit is actually a composition of hundreds or even thousands of files. Even websites which are highly optimized for speed are likely to load a lot of files at any point to display the content in your browser.
Browsers try to do their part to speed up the loading process. The first time you visit a site, the browser will save pieces of the site, because the browser can display the files stored in its cache much faster than it can pull fresh files from a server. The next time you visit that site, the cached files will help cut down the page load time.In Chrome
- On your computer, open Chrome.
- At the top right, click on the 3 vertical dots

Clear browsing data.

You can also get there by just typing in this URL path into your browser: chrome://settings/clearBrowserData
