Clear Your Cache For Faster Game Loads

All games we play on Facebook utilize Javascript which is a client side technology. This means that the actual processing of some things within the game happens on your computer and not on developer side. If you notice that your game is having difficulties loading or responding slowly to your actions it may be because your systems cache is full.

What is System Cache?

Cache is a component that transparently stores data so that future requests for that data can be served faster. The data that is stored within a cache might be values that have been computed earlier or duplicates of original values that are stored elsewhere.
