Storing these files in the cache can make browsing the Web faster because it usually takes the computer less time to display a web page when it can call up some of the page's elements or even the entire page from your local Temporary Internet Files folder.
However, having too much cache may also affect the system's performance and disk space. For this reason, it is important to maintain a balance between the factors that may affect performance.
Generally, cache sizes above 80 megabytes use up disk space and can actually cause slower performance. Solid State Drives and system partitions with low storage space come to mind.
And some users may want to move the cache location to the RAM instead, to speed up things, get the cache auto deleted on exit or avoid to many write cycles on the system partition. The only official option to relocate the cache and change its size are two command line switches that need to be added to the Chrome shortcut. That's not the most elegant solution, considering that these shortcuts are not executed if Chrome is the default browser and a web address is launched from a third party software.
The disk cache dir parameter defines a new location of the Chrome cache, while disk cache size changes the cache limit. Here is an example:. In Windows, you locate the Chrome shortcut on the desktop, start menu or taskbar , right-click it and select properties.
The shortcut tab should open in a new window. Locate the Target field in the tab and append the cache directions to the end of the field, e. Some users may want to limit the cache even further, to an absolute minimum. Those users can set the disk cache size parameter to 1, which works best for all cases.
Now another step is required to ensure that Chrome is using the right cache location and size when a link is clicked this is only necessary if Chrome is the default system browser. Windows users need to open the Windows Registry and do some Registry hacking for this. Open the Registry with Windows-R, typing regedit and the enter key.
You should find a path to the Chrome executable there. All we need to do is to append the cache location and size to the path so that Chrome uses the right caching information when links are clicked and Chrome is not open at that time. There is an alternative to adding the location command line parameter to Chrome. Symbolic links can be used to move cache location from its original path to another one.
Instead of using parameters to set the cache location and size of the Chrome web browser, system administrators can also use policies to do so. This is how it is done in Windows:. We recommend to use a program like Steam Mover to do that, as it offers to make the change without having to use the command line. The Chrome developers should consider adding options to the graphical user interface to change the location and size of the cache.
I used these parameters on one computer and it works fine just as you say. I noticed an improved performance immediately. However, I did the same steps on another computer, with almost the same setup, and the chrome browser opens to my new cache file. The same thing happens with SRWare Iron as well.
Do you have a clue? The registry hack also works, say, if I open Chrome via a link in Excel. No joy there. Delete them all. Monitor 4 changes. Search registry for every mention of chrome. Re-open Chrome using a plain shortcut. I noticed that when Chrome updates itself with no confirmation from the user, another thing they should fix ; the icon gets replaced, and the parameters are gone. Be careful with this because you may be using the default cache location and size without knowing it, after the update.
Thanks in advance, Mishka. DO NOT copy and paste directly from browser to shortcut, it messes up double quotes and parameter gets ignored. Try pasting it into text pad then after making sure it looks ok, copy it to the shortcut. Alternatively just add the correct values in the registry.
Either via group Policy can be applied locally, too or by manually hacking it in. What if I just move cache from C disk to the new location will it be able to recognize it? What am I missing? Just found the solution to my problem — I had copied and pasted the switches from the browser, which used the wrong double-quote character. After hand-inserting the double-quotes in the registry editor, it all started working. Um, can you edit the blog post to have the correct quotation marks??
Maybe if the proper quotation marks were listed, everybody could do this quite more easily. I finally looked it up. It is WordPress that is automatically modifying quotes. I write about how I have changed that soon.
My company is using VMware guest workstations with user profiles stored in the D: drive. Nevermind, I found the issue… the —disk-cache-size value is in MB, not bytes… so. Hm, are you sure about that? The value was bytes previously and Google noted on several occasions that it is not a hard limit and that Chrome may use more cache even if you have set the cache to a lower value.
All I can tell you is, since I set it to 20 the size of the Cache directory has never been anything other than What Host OS? What Guest OS?
