Increase the cache size. Instructions for increasing the cache in the Google Chrome browser. Is it possible to somehow increase the processor cache

Hello, friends! Today's article will be devoted to one of the most popular Internet browsers among users - Google chrome... We will take a quick look at what a cache is, increase the cache memory in Chrome and create a shortcut for the browser on the desktop.

Browser cache - what is it

As always, before practice, I will give you a few terms. After all, how are we going to increase something if we do not know what it is.

The cache is an intermediate buffer that stores the information used. When browsing the Internet sites, video, listening to audio, files downloaded by the web browser, for all of the above, are saved in a special folder on the hard disk - this is the folder with the cache.

When you visit a site on the Internet for the first time, then to display its contents, the browser contacts the server and downloads the necessary information from there, which goes into the folder mentioned earlier. By visiting the same site a second time, the browser will take everything required files from the cache. Accordingly, it will load the page faster and use less traffic.

Its volume in the browser is limited. Therefore, when free space runs out, old recordings are erased and new ones are recorded. If you notice that online games or videos have started to slow down, you can try increasing the browser cache.

In order to free up space on your hard drive, or if you notice errors in your browser, you can. Read the detailed article by following the link.

Increasing the Chrome cache

Find the Chrome shortcut on your desktop and click on it right click mouse. Choose from context menu item "Properties".

In the properties window go to the "Shortcut" tab. In the "Object" field, put italics at the end, press a space and insert: --disk-cache-dir \u003d "c: \\ chromeсache", again a space and: --disk-cache-size \u003d 1073741824. Click "Apply" and "OK".

In both cases, the word disk is preceded by two hyphens. The number 1073741824 is the size in bytes. Set the desired value. In this case, 1,073,741,824 bytes is 1 GB.

How to create a Chrome shortcut on the desktop

If following the instructions above and you haven't found the shortcut you need, let's take a look at how to make a Chrome shortcut on your desktop.

Open "Computer" and find the folder where Google Chrome is installed. More specifically, we need an executable file. If you did not select a different folder during installation, then most likely you need to go to the path: C: \\ Program Files \\ Google \\ Chrome \\ Application.

Find here desired file... So that there is no doubt, right-click on it and go to "Properties". On the General tab, the File Type must contain the .exe extension.

The cache is a very important component of any program, be it Mozilla or opera, google chome. But before figuring out how to increase it, you need to understand what it is and why it is needed. Cache is a buffer memory that acts quickly, it happens between the processor, the main memory of the computer.

The cache is needed in order to partially compensate for the loading speed of various web pages, especially those that you often visit or those that you have visited at least once before. The cache folder stores all pictures, animation videos, etc. from pages on the Internet.

How to properly increase the cache in Mozilla Firefox

Each program has its own algorithm for increasing the cache. To begin with, we will consider this process in one of the most popular among all Internet users (this fact was clarified thanks to several social polls in popular social networks).

First of all, go to Mozila, find the settings icon there and click on it.

After we call the window, a window will appear on the desktop, in which there will be a "Advanced" tab, click on it and find the "Network" button, there should be an item with a tick "Disable automatic cache memory management", the checkbox must be unchecked.

In this browser, the maximum memory size is only 2025 MB.

Now we set the required amount of memory, but remember also about the maximum allowable value. After setting the volume, the computer automatically saves the changes. You only need to close.

How to increase volume in Opera

When magnified, the opera has slight differences from the muff. But they are minor and can be quickly viewed and disassembled.

So, first of all, we go into the program and its settings. In the settings, we find the "general settings" tab. The settings window should open. There should be a button "Advanced", click on it and find the tab "History", and then click on " Disk cache". Now we set the required volume, but remember also the maximum value. In this browser it is 400MB.

It is also recommended to check the box next to "Clear cache after exiting". This means that after each closing of the Opera browser, all unnecessary cache will be deleted. This is necessary in order not to clog up again. operating system your computer or laptop.

How to increase the cache in Yandex, Google Chrome and Opera 21

In these browsers, the increase in memory is very different from the two previous browsers. But first things first. In order to increase the cache, you need not go into the program settings, but do everything through the launch shortcut and add several new lines. Unfortunately, not all computer and Internet users will be able to understand everything at once and repeat this procedure. But it's important to just know how it's done.

Since the engines running Yandex, Chrome and Opera 21 are the same (called Chromium), naturally all settings are identical, and in the case of the cache, the actions will be similar.

In order to increase memory in Yandex, we do this:

• Right-click on the launcher shortcut and find the "properties" item there.
• There we find the tab “shortcut” and see an empty field “object”, put a space there and write the following line: –disk-cache-dir \u003d ”from: \\ YandexCache” –disk-cache-size \u003d 1073741824.

This means that we have just increased the cached memory to 1GB. And the entire cache will be stored on the computer in the YandexCache folder on the C drive

• The last action is to confirm and save the settings.

Also, the amount of cached memory increases in the google chrome browser. Only the line will change, which will need to be added to the "object" field: –disk-cache-dir \u003d ”from: \\ ChromeCache” –disk-cache-size \u003d 1073741824

Now we click on the “apply” button (in some browsers, instead of “apply”, the “save” button appears). We have now increased the memory to 1 GB.

All these procedures are quite simple and should not cause any problems, especially for users who use a computer to "YOU".

Clearing the cache as one of the ways to increase space

You can also increase memory by cleaning already unnecessary files... After all, they take up a lot of space, thereby preventing the browser from functioning normally. Also, if you do not clean the cache from time to time, then you may have problems loading some sites.

For example, if you once visited this web page, but it has been updated since your last visit, and your program through which you visit the Internet launches its saved copy. So how do you clear the cache properly?

First, consider Mozilla Firefox:

The second most popular is Google Chrome, so it's worth considering how to clean everything in it:

We open our program as standard. Next, we also find the "History" window, click on it and select "Clear recent history". There you can choose what exactly needs to be deleted, do not forget to put a tick in front of "Cash", confirm our action and click on "Delete".

Now you have more space on your hard drive to store new data from various sites. The main thing is not to forget to perform this procedure at least several times a month. Otherwise, the program may freeze and poorly display various content of web pages.

The article will highlight topics related to the storage of Internet files in Yandex Browser: how to increase the cache, how to clear it, where it is, what is its size, can it be moved.

The cache is designed primarily to reduce the number of unnecessary calls from the Internet browser to the opened sites. Each file that is transmitted via the Internet is marked in a special way, this marking usually contains the update date. If the file is not updated for months or years, there is no point in pulling it out of the Internet every day. Therefore, it is saved on the hard drive and the browser uses it bypassing the request process to world wide web... The folder with such data is the cache.

Sometimes it becomes necessary to clean this folder forcibly. There are some considerations as to why such a need may arise.

• The first situation. The system suddenly ran out of free space on the hard disk and the OS offers to clean unnecessary data;
• The second situation. The user tries to hide the traces of visiting one or more resources. The goals here can be different. For example, some sites may prohibit registration from one IP address more than once. To hide the first registration, the user can try to clear the cookies and history at the same time. Perhaps the motive here may be the unwillingness to have compromising materials on the computer that have been viewed on the network. But the cache stores everything that we watch. Therefore, by iterating over the cache files, you can find the information that the companion or family member was viewing.

Erase data in storage

We will show you how to clean the Yandex Browser storage with an example.

In the list of settings, select the item "Advanced", in it - "Clear history".

A window with options will open, designed to clean the information associated with the use of the browser. There is also a drop-down list that sets the time period for cleaning files. The following options are available:

• Delete in an hour
• Delete in a day
• Delete in a week
• Delete in 4 weeks
• Delete all time

Check the box next to the "files saved in the cache" and click the "clear history" button. If you don't want to accidentally reset other parameters, be sure to check that the options next to them are disabled.

Console for cleaning can be called by hot keys Ctrl + Shift + Del.

How to make storage bigger

There is no way to increase the cache by means of the browser itself, so let's consider an example with setting additional parameters to the browser executable file.

To increase the cache, you need to find the Yandex Browser shortcut on the desktop and right-click on it to bring up the shortcut settings menu. At the very bottom of the menu will be the item "Properties". We select it, after which the “Properties: Yandex” panel with tabs will open. Select the "Shortcut" tab. The tab contains several fields for entering information. We need the "Object" field. This field indicates the path where the "exe" file of the program is located and which the shortcut calls when you click on it. The executable file has the ability to accept parameters. One of these parameters is the cache size. We will add this parameter to the object call, and then when you click on the shortcut, the executive program will be launched with the necessary parameters.

The following line, written at the end of the call to the executable file, will help to increase the cache:

where N is the size of the cache in bytes.

This completes the procedure for increasing the cache; after launching Yandex Browser, it will have a new storage size.

Where is the data located

To find the cache, you need to go along the following path:

Yandex Browser stores cached files in a numbered form, without the. Therefore, from the name alone it is impossible to understand what type it is and what its name was originally. The only thing you can link your search to is the date. Thus, if you want to view a certain photo, you will have to sort through a lot of files manually.

There is one more trick. If the file is known to be a photograph, it cannot be less than a few kilobytes. This way, you can sort the data by size and examine only those that fit.

How to copy

To transfer the browser storage, you just need to copy the Cache folder, which was discussed in the review above, and place it in the place where the new browser is installed.

How to overwrite old data with new ones

To update the cache, you just need to clear it (read about how to clear the cache above), after which it will be created again and can be considered updated.

Greetings to all. Today we are solving the question of how to increase the cache memory in the browser. This procedure, especially relevant for comfortable viewing with slow internet, as well as for amateurs online games... Therefore, if your video on the Internet slows down or you can't launch your favorite toy, then this instruction is for you.

Note. This method is for old versions, for new versions of Opera, starting from 15, made on the new Chromium engine - read the instructions below, in the Yandex and Google Chrome section.

Go to settings - Opera - Settings - General settings or press Ctrl + F12:

The browser settings window will open, here we go to the “Advanced” tab - select the “History” item - and in the “Disk cache” field, select the maximum memory value - 400 MB. I also advise you to put a tick next to the "Clean on exit" item so that when you close the Opera, it automatically clears and does not clog the system again.

Then click "OK" and you're done - now or games will become much more comfortable.

Note. If you need to increase more than 400 MB, then go to the address - “opera: config” (enter in address bar). The advanced settings editor will open. Find the item “Disk Cache”, open it and at the very end, in the “Size” field, set the value you need in kilobytes. For example, for 1GB - enter - 1,000,000 kb. Then click “Save” and just in case restart your browser.

How to increase cache in Yandex browser, Google Chrome and Opera 21

In these browsers, the developers took a completely different path. And you will not immediately understand how to increase this volume for temporary files. Because all actions need to be done not through the browser settings, in the usual way, but through the shortcut to launch the program, add some lines, in general, this is not done for ordinary users. But nevertheless, the procedure is simple, the main thing is to know what and where to register, and with this we will now figure it out.

Since the engines of Yandex Chromium and Opera 21 are the same (called Chromium), then, accordingly, all settings are identical, and in the case of our storage of temporary files, the actions will be similar.

To increase the cache in the Yandex browser, right-click on the program launch shortcut and select "Properties":

In the properties, go to the "Label" tab and in the "Object" field after the word browser.exe put a space and add this line (for convenience, copy this line and paste it into the required field, but look, do not delete the previous content of the line):

Disk-cache-dir \u003d "c: \\ YandexCache" --disk-cache-size \u003d 1073741824

which will mean that we have set the cache size equal to 1 GB, which will be located in the YandexCache folder on disk C. Naturally, the size (we write in bytes) and the path can be changed at your discretion.

It will look like this:

Then click “Apply” - “OK” and all the cache memory for Yandex is increased! , by the way, you can read how to clear the cache in Yandex Browser.

The same goes for Google Chrome. Go to the properties of the Chrome shortcut, go to the "Shortcut" tab and in the "Object" field after chrome.exe "put a space and add the line:

Disk-cache-dir \u003d "c: \\ OperaCache" --disk-cache-size \u003d 1073741824

Click "Apply" - "OK" and that's it. Opera 21 has also increased by 1GB, which will be located in the OperaCache folder on drive C.

How to increase cache memory in Mozilla Firefox
