The title of the article is a lie. It says that it explains how you can VIEW the site storage on Chrome Android. Seeing the size of the storage isn’t even close to viewing it. But “seeing the size” isn’t good for SEO, so a misleading title was chosen.

If I got a document viewer for Word and all it did was showing me the size of the file I would be royally pissed. And I doubt very much anybody else would see that differently.

If I never clear cache data will it eventually clear itself or stay on my phone as long as I own the phone?

In reply to Russell. The data is stored in a machine-readable format. We cannot view or read the data stored.

OK well I would like to be able to view the information stored stored not just see the size of the amount stored but the actual information….. Can you tell me how I can do that?

First of all, apologies for creating confusion here.

Yes – your husband is correct. It highly depends on the file size of the site assets. Google.com is a very light site that doesn’t have many assets (images, gif, HTML, etc.) whereas dating’s homepage is filled with these assets. Hence, visit google’s ten times might be equivalent to one dating’s visit. I hope this clears.

Like Alicia, I too don’t quite understand. I keep getting different info from my husband about why 1 site is larger than another one that I’d believe to be largest because it is used most. I’m told the size is only how big a file is…in the site??
Please answer this…Google is 4 sites down on the list under dating.com. I need 1 person to tell me honestly how it works. Because, as of right now it’s looking like I might need an attorney.
Thanks

In reply to Alicia.

Hi Alicia, thanks for your question.

Basically, every website that loaded on the browser trying to store the data into browser storage. Irrespective of whether you’ve visited or loaded that site in the background as a pop-up.

From a technical standpoint, it also depends upon the website set up, whether the site administrator has configured with browser caching or not. If the browser cache is not enabled, then we will have zero storage from that site.

Hope this helps!
