An example of what happens when a web page is loaded without cache

Post by mouakter13 »

Someone arrives at your website through a search engine or an external source such as social media. They land on one of your web pages, such as the home page or a product page.
An HTTPS request is put into effect, telling your web server to compile all the files to deliver that web page. Each element (image, script, and file) that goes into that page takes time for the server to compile.
Once all the files and site elements have been requested and loaded, the user sees the complete web page.
Again, it depends on the file size and number of files on that page, but it's a lot of work for your server to put together the right components of a web page every time someone wants to view it.

An example of what happens when a web page is loaded with caching enabled:
Someone comes to your website and ends up on an individual page.
An HTTPS request is sent to the server to compile the files and deliver the complete web page.
Caching is enabled, so the web server sees no changes since the last visitor tried to access the site. It looks for a static version of the site in its cache, eliminating the need for the server to compile and serve all of the website's files from scratch.
All visitors see a cached version of your web page until a content bulgaria phone number datachange is made to the page. The cache is also reset when caching is automatically or manually cleared.

One way to visualize caching is to imagine that you are a painter selling your artwork at a fair. Potential clients come to you and love one of your works. However, painting that same landscape over and over again takes a lot of time, and people may not be willing to wait. So, you can make a digital copy of the original painting and print that instead. This way, you will get more sales and your clients won't have to wait through a long creation process.

Caching works in a similar way, copying what's already there so that the server (the painter in this example) doesn't have to work as hard, and the users (the painter's clients) get what they came for in a shorter period of time.
