If you are having trouble with reCAPTCHA not loading or not verifying correctly, one common fix is to flush (clear) your browser cache. Over time, cached files can become outdated or corrupted, which may interfere with how websites and security tools like reCAPTCHA work.
Here is how you can flush your cache:
- Open your browser settings – In Chrome, Edge, or Brave, click the three-dot menu in the top right; in Firefox, click the three-line menu.
- Go to Privacy & Security (sometimes called History or Clear browsing data).
- Select Clear browsing data – You will see options for cookies, cached files, and browsing history.
- Choose Cached images and files – This is usually enough; you do not have to clear cookies unless reCAPTCHA still does not work.
- Pick a time range – Start with “All time” to make sure no old files remain.
- Click Clear data and then restart your browser.
- Go back to the website and try reCAPTCHA again.
If it still does not work, you may also try:
- Opening the site in Incognito/Private mode.
- Disabling browser extensions (especially ad blockers or privacy add-ons).
- Using a different browser.
Clearing your cache often resolves reCAPTCHA issues by forcing your browser to load the newest version of the page and its security scripts.
