CompTIA ITF+ (FC0-U61) — Question 32

A user at a company visits a weather website often during the day. The user browses to the site in the afternoon and notices that the temperature listed is from the morning and is not the current temperature. The user closes the page and tries again with the same result. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause?

Answer options

• A. Proxy server
• B. Browser add-on
• C. Corrupted cache
• D. Script blocker

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The most likely cause is a Proxy server, which can cache data and serve outdated content if it hasn't refreshed. A Browser add-on may not directly affect loading old data, while a Corrupted cache typically results in errors or loading issues rather than outdated information. Lastly, a Script blocker would impact the functionality of scripts on the page but wouldn't usually cause the display of old data.
