Caching

In an IT context, caching is a way of storing information so it can be delivered more quickly to the user (and keep down server costs).

A bit like handing round a pre-printed business card, rather than writing down your phone number every time you meet someone.

Sometimes, over zealous caching can mean that changes and updates aren’t visible, or that dynamic elements stop working.

On this page you’ll find tutorials, case studies and software reviews related to getting the most out of caching, without breaking things!
