How to Flush DNS Records on Windows 10
What is DNS Cache?
When you enter a website's URL into your web browser, your computer sends a request to a DNS server to translate the URL into an IP address. This IP address is then used to connect to the website's server and load the website in your browser.
To improve performance, your computer stores a cache of recently accessed DNS records. This cache allows your computer to quickly access websites that you have recently visited without having to send a new request to a DNS server.
