Clearing the Google Chrome cache is a good idea every now and then. The Chrome cache pre-stores files on your hard drive, such as photos and web pages, for faster access if you visit the same pages or pages with similar components again. When you use a browser, like Chrome, it saves some information from websites in its cache and cookies. Clearing them fixes certain problems, like loading or formatting issues on sites.
