You may have already encountered the error code err_cache_miss. But for the same money that hasn't happened yet. What exactly does the error code mean? And, more importantly: how do you solve it again? In this article, we look at all the solutions for the err_cache_miss problem in Chrome.
Err_cache_miss
The problem sometimes comes up when you use the Google Chrome browser on your Chromebook used. Therefore, it is easy to think that it is a bug of the browser you are using. But that's not the case at all. The error lies with the website you are currently visiting.
These are websites to which you send information via a form. If you run into this problem and refreshing the page does not help, then in this article we provide solutions that may work. You don't have to be a big tech connoisseur for this, luckily.
The problem can have several causes. You may also encounter the problem in other browsers, such as Firefox. Because there can be many causes, it is now even more important to look at what you can do about it if the problem knocks on your door.
Fix err_cache_miss Chrome
The first action you can take is to refresh the page. You do this by pressing the circle with an arrow next to the address bar. Sometimes it can happen that a Chromebook loses connection to the internet for a while, thus causing problems when loading specific pages. A fast reload is then the best solution.
A second solution is to update the Google Chrome browser (or whatever browser you are currently using). When an update is ready for Chrome browser, you will see it in the top right of the bar, next to the settings. You will see a green or sometimes red button there. If the button is red, it has been a while since you updated the browser.
