Cache is used to load more quickly a website. Therefore, using Magento cache management system is one of the easy ways to speed up your Magento site. When the cache system is enabled, you must clear the cache before applying any modifications to your Magento store.

Magento 1.x by default includes a caching system to help improve the performance. When you make changes to your Magento website, you may not see the changes immediately. In cases where you want to see the changes you have made to your “live” Magento 1.x website, you’ll need to clear the cache files. Clearing the Magento 1.x cache files is easily accomplished in the Magento Admin Backend.
