Application Caching
Application caching is a method that stores important data temporarily closer to where it's needed, such as on your device or nearby servers. This reduces the time it takes for an application to load or retrieve information, enhancing performance and responsiveness. For example, a web browser caches website images and data so that revisiting the site loads faster. Caching balances the benefits of quick access with the need to keep data up-to-date, often by refreshing cached information regularly. It helps applications run more efficiently by minimizing repetitive data retrieval from distant or slower sources.
