Browser cache means, static resources of a webpage can store in browser so when a user re visit the page, these files will load from local server. Don’t have to get it from server, so the overall speed will increase. It can enable by some plugins in content management system based websites. Also you can do it manually by editing the root configuration file and pasting a code to it.
