Web Caching

Web caching is a process that stores copies of web pages or data temporarily closer to the user, such as on your device or a nearby server. When you visit a website, the cache allows your browser to load the page faster by retrieving stored data instead of fetching everything anew from the internet each time. This reduces bandwidth usage, speeds up browsing, and decreases server load. Cached data stays for a set period or until it’s updated, ensuring you see recent content while enjoying quicker access.
