What is a cache?

A cache temporarily stores fetched or calculated information so subsequent requests may be served faster.

In practice

A browser can reuse fonts and images; a server can reuse public data instead of repeatedly querying a database.

Important limitations

Set appropriate expiry and private-data rules. Incorrect caching can serve stale information or expose personal pages.
