Is your Mac having trouble loading websites or showing outdated versions?
macOS stores DNS records to speed up browsing. But when those records become outdated or corrupted, it can break connectivity or cause errors.
Flushing the DNS cache forces your Mac to reload fresh address data — and the fix takes just a few seconds in Terminal.
