What is site storage?

Google Chrome stores temporary files that a website downloads on to your phone in “site storage”. According to Android Police, the amount of storage space used by each website that you see in the list may not be accurate.

However, it is still a good idea to review site storage use and clean up storage for websites that you do not use regularly.
