Cached elements (e.g., images, CSS, JS) are served directly from the user's browser without a network request, leading to faster page rendering.
it improves user experience, especially for repeat visitors and reduce the latency by caching locally objects that eliminates delays caused by network latency.This feature is available with Artica v4.50 Service Pack 1 or Artica v4.50 Hotfix 20241206-14
¶ Reduced Bandwidth Usage
- Cached elements are not repeatedly downloaded from the server, reducing the amount of data sent over the network.
- Ideal for websites with heavy media files (e.g., images, videos, or PDFs).
- Lower bandwidth usage translates to reduced hosting costs, especially for high-traffic sites or CDN-backed infrastructures.
¶ Lower Server Load
- Requests for cached elements bypass the server, reducing CPU, memory, and disk I/O.
- Servers can handle more concurrent users without needing additional resources.
- By caching static assets, the server focuses on processing dynamic content, improving scalability during traffic spikes.
¶ Enhanced User Experience
- Cached assets result in seamless and fast page-to-page transitions.
- Improves satisfaction for users with slow or limited internet connections.
- Browsers can display cached elements even if the user temporarily loses internet access.
Of course, this feature only makes sense if your website's visitors are loyal and regularly browse your site.
