How to increase the cache memory in Yandex. Increasing the cache in the Yandex browser. Increasing Mozilla Firefox Cache
Browser caches are copies of web pages that the user has already viewed. When you try to re-view these pages, the browser (or proxy server) will no longer request them from the web server, but will retrieve them from the cache. The use of a cache reduces network load and increases page loading speed. To speed up loading, the game stores resources in the browser cache and takes them from there as needed. To prevent resources from being evicted from the cache over time, its maximum size must be increased.

Increasing the cache of Chromium-based browsers
The list of browsers based on the Chromium engine includes browsers such as Chrome, Opera latest versions, Yandex browser and others. The full list can be found at the link. The cache size of Chromium-based browsers changes in the same way.
By regular means, increasing the size of the cache is not provided, therefore, an alternative method is used - adding parameters separated by a space --disk-cache-dir="c:\browserсache" --disk-cache-size=1073741824 in the shortcut for the executable.
- C:\browserсache - cache folder, specified in quotation marks, the path is chosen at your discretion;
- 1073741824 - cache size in bytes, in this case it is 1 GB.
Instructions for increasing the cache on the example of the Google Chrome browser:
1) Find the shortcut with which you launch the browser (for example, Chrome), right-click on it and click " Properties».
2) Go to tab Label and in the field An object after ...chrome.exe" put a space and enter a line --disk-cache-dir="C:\ChromeCache" --disk-cache-size=1073741824

In order to comfortably play online games and watch videos on the Internet, you need to increase the cache of your browser. Often such an insignificant problem is the fault of the "braking" that many fans of online recreation suffer from.
But the solution to this simple problem is also not very complicated. Absolutely every PC user can increase the cache in his browser. Therefore, you should not be afraid even if you are with a computer on you!
Everything is very simple, the most important thing is to clearly follow the instructions and do not change anything superfluous. Each user uses different browsers, so I will give instructions on how to increase the cache for the most popular browsers.
Solution for Mozilla Firefox
In order to perform this procedure for Mozilla Firefox, you need to go to the menu and select Settings.
Increase Internet Explorer Cache
If you have an Internet Explorer browser, then you must go to the menu and click Internet Options.
In the window that opens, go to the General tab and at the bottom where the Browser History item click Settings.
The Browser Options window opens here and set the size of the browser cache.
How to increase the cache of the Opera browser
If we talk about Opera, then here you will need to open Settings in the main menu of the browser.
How to increase the cache memory of the Google Chrome browser
To increase the cache in the Google Chrome browser, you need to right-click on the browser shortcut and select properties. This shortcut is located on the desktop or in the "Start" section. 
In the tab "Shortcut" you will see the column "Object". This column contains the address that needs to be changed.
To do this, in this column, with a space, you should write:
–disk-cache-dir=”c:\chromecache” –disk-cache-size= 536870912 .
Wherein, 536870912 is a byte value that represents 500 megabytes. By changing this setting, you will change the browser cache.
Each modern browser by default partially saves the information of web pages, which significantly reduces the waiting time and the amount of traffic "eaten" when they are opened again. This stored information is nothing but a cache. And today we will look at how you can increase the cache in the Google Chrome Internet browser.
Increasing the cache is necessary, of course, to store more information from websites on your hard drive. Unfortunately, unlike the Mozilla Firefox browser, where increasing the cache is available by regular means, in Google Chrome a similar procedure is performed in slightly different ways, but if you have a strong need to increase the cache of this web browser, then this task is quite simple to handle.
How to expand the cache in Google Chrome browser?
Considering that Google considered it necessary not to add the function of increasing the cache to the menu of its browser, we will go a slightly different tricky way. First we need to create a browser shortcut. To do this, go to the folder with the installed program (usually this address is C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application), click on the application "chrome" Right-click on the mouse and in the pop-up menu, make a choice in favor of the parameter "Create Shortcut" .
Right-click on the shortcut and in the pop-up additional menu, select the option "Properties" .
In the pop-up window, double-check that you have a tab open "Label" . In field "An object" hosted the address leading to the application. We need to enter two parameters to this address, separated by a space:
Disk-cache-dir="c:\chromecache"
disk-cache-size=1073741824
As a result, the updated column "Object" in your case will look something like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --disk-cache-dir="c:\chromecache" --disk-cache-size=1073741824
This command means that you increase the size of the application cache by 1073741824 bytes, which equals 1 GB. Save changes and close this window.
Every modern web browser actively uses information caching technology in its work. The cache performs many useful functions, without which modern Internet capabilities would not exist. It allows you to watch movies and listen to music online, run browser games, and also significantly saves users' Internet traffic. This article describes in detail how you can increase or decrease the cache in Yandex browser, as well as why this may be required.
A cache is a special folder on your hard drive where all information from the network is stored. Copies of viewed web pages, video and audio files, data from browser games, images - all this is saved to your personal computer. You may have noticed a gray bar in the progress bar of the Youtube video player that runs ahead of the playback. This is the caching process.
Such a move allows, firstly, to realize the idea of viewing online. The movie is downloaded to the computer and played at the same time, and then deleted. Secondly, it saves users time and network traffic while surfing the web.
For example, you visited the home page of a website. From there they moved on to some article. And then they wanted to go back to the main page to select another article. Since it is loaded into the cache, the Yandex browser does not have to contact the server again to download it.
The cache memory in the browser is severely limited in size. Otherwise, thousands of pages and videos watched would simply litter the entire hard drive. When the cache fills up, the oldest data is deleted from it, and new information is written in their place.
Users can increase the maximum cache size to fit more data, or decrease it if they are running out of free space on their computer. If you do not have unlimited Internet, and you pay for traffic, it is recommended to increase the cache. This will allow you to significantly reduce the cost of connecting to the network.
How to increase the maximum amount of cache
Unfortunately, the developers from Yandex did not provide an opportunity to increase or decrease the size of the cache directory using standard tools in the browser. Users cannot change this setting in the browser settings.
However, there is an alternative non-obvious way to perform this operation - changing the properties of the shortcut. Most likely, such restrictions and difficulties are introduced so that inexperienced users cannot accidentally change something and fill their entire hard drive with cached information. A cache that is too small is also bad, since you will not be able to watch a movie online that does not fit into memory entirely.
Changing the properties of a shortcut is not difficult - just follow the step-by-step instructions presented:
Thus, you have changed the size of the local storage in your Yandex browser.
Change folder location
Solid state drives are gaining more and more popularity among ordinary users. Today it is considered very convenient to use a small SSD for the needs of the operating system and a capacious HDD for programs and information storage. This approach allows many times to increase the speed of the computer.
But when installing Yandex, you cannot select the location of the cache folder. You cannot change it in the browser itself. And it takes up a lot of space and many rewriting cycles are performed, which negatively affects the durability of expensive SSDs.
By editing the icon configuration, users are able to move the Cache to another drive so as not to clutter up the system. Open the properties menu as described in the instructions above. As in the previous case, you need to change the value of the "Object" parameter.
The cache in browsers is designed to store downloaded information from the network. When you revisit a site you've already visited, the browser loads most of the data from the cache on your computer, resulting in faster page loads and less traffic. Increasing the cache size is useful if you have a slow internet connection, play online browser games, or stream videos frequently.
In this browser, the cache size increases very easily. Click on the Firefox button and select "Settings" from the drop-down menu, and then "Settings" again.
In the window that opens, select the "Advanced" tab, switch to "Network" in it and check the box next to "Disable automatic cache management". After that, you can manually set any value. Click OK, restart your browser and the changes will take effect.
In this browser, select "Service" and go to "Internet Options". In the "General" tab, find the "Options" button in the "Browsing History" field. A window will open where you can manually adjust the size of the cache in the item "Used disk space ..."
Using standard tools through the settings menu in Chrome, you cannot increase the cache size, since it is dynamic in this browser. If you still want to manually set this parameter, do the following:
- Right-click on the browser shortcut on the desktop and select "Properties".
- Go to the "Shortcut" tab and add the following in the "Object:" field, separated by a space: --disk-cache-dir="c:\chromecache" --disk-cache-size=536870912, where 536870912 is the size of the cache in bytes (512 MB in this case).
- Click OK and restart your browser.
Look at the screenshot how it will look to understand everything.
