A DNS cache or DNS resolver cache, is a temporary database of DNS lookups on the OS and browser. It consists of the records of recent as well as attempted visits of websites along with domains. To troubleshot cache poisoning or other internet connectivity issues, you may need to flush the DNS cache. The action will remove all the DNS entries. Besides, it also gets rid of invalid records. Let’s check out the way to clear the DNS cache on your Mac.

What does Clearing the DNS cache do?

If you are having trouble accessing a website on your Mac, or if webpages do not load properly, clearing DNS cache will help. It also lets you correctly see the new version of a website, in case the site has recently moved its servers. It does so by clearing the outdated entries and fetching the new ones. Finally, regularly flushing DNS cache may also help in hiding search behavior and offer security against manipulation.
