But why does one refresh to begin with?

Refreshing clears the cache memory stored on your computer, which then brings you to the latest version of the webpage.

But, what is cache?

Cache is when your computer takes information from a site, downloads it and store them locally in your computer's hard drive. Hence, when you vist a page twice, the computer loads it faster as it loads the page directly from its local cache.
