If a website won't load but your internet seems fine, or if you can't connect to a server after an update, your computer might be holding onto old location data. This is called the DNS cache. In this video, we show you how to "flush" that cache using the command line. It’s a super quick trick that forces your computer to find the newest, correct path to the website you are trying to reach. We’ll show you exactly what to type to clear those stale routing paths in seconds.
