Why might a website load slowly if the cache is full?

When the cache is full, the website may load slowly because it has to take longer to access the stored data. The cache is designed to store frequently accessed information temporarily for quick retrieval, which allows for faster loading times. However, when the cache reaches its storage limit, it becomes less efficient.

The system may need to sift through a larger amount of data to find what it needs, thereby increasing the time taken to load each page or resource. This delay in accessing the data can contribute significantly to the perception of a slow-loading website. By contrast, other options do not directly address the fundamental mechanism of how a full cache affects loading speed, focusing instead on unrelated aspects of data management.
