I've seen articles telling users to clear the iPhone cache regularly. How important is it to do this?
I know that you lose all your cookies when you do this, requiring that you re log in to websites and maybe apps. Is there a rule of thumb as to the amount of system data that would be enough to make Safari and other apps slow down?

Ignore such articles. iOS manages caches better than you can. What you should do is close Safari pages that you aren’t using regularly; sometimes you don’t realize how many you have open. In Safari, tap the overlapping squares at the bottom right to review your open pages, and delete the ones you don’t use regularly.

That's what I expected. The latest articles were from CNET... which has fallen far from their technical perch, if it ever was there.
I do close tabs from time to time. I just checked and I had 355 open, which is much higher than it usually gets.
Thanks for solving my question!

I noticed you pasted this advice from this website, which I'm afraid isn't relevant.
The website you got this from is a support article for applying for Canadian citizenship. As such, it's intended to help troubleshoot user issues when sending the secure application forms.
Generally, it's not necessary to delete your browser cache unless a website isn't working properly.
