You might need to clear your cache on Hulu to improve its performance if you're having issues.
Depending on how you're watching Hulu, there might be a specific cache just for the Hulu app, or, if you're watching in a browser, Hulu might share the same cache for all your online activities.
If there's no option to clear a cache for your device, such as on iOS, you can uninstall and reinstall the Hulu app.

Hulu's video streaming service usually works smoothly and error-free, though you might occasionally encounter situations in which it misbehaves. You might see error messages, or video might not stream smoothly even though there are no problems with your internet access.
