Has your Amazon Fire TV Stick been slow over the past few weeks? Well, there is a forgotten setup trick that will instantly speed up your device.
Smart TV device owners are encouraged to check the device’s cache every few months when noticeable performance issues arise.
This may include when apps take longer to load or the TV is slow to respond to commands.
Clearing your Fire Stick’s cache can help fix these issues.
Over time, apps accumulate cache data, which can slow down your device.
The same thing happens on your PC or laptop.
Cache data is made up of the information that apps keep, such as favorites and preferred content.
By clearing the cache regularly, you can ensure that your Fire Stick works smoothly and without lag.
An added bonus is that clearing your cache can also free up storage space.
When cache gets out of control, it can end up eating up your device’s storage.

Sometimes an app’s cache clears automatically.
This happens with apps you don’t use very often.
