Quick Reference
Use Cache-Control headers: immutable for hashed assets, max-age + stale-while-revalidate for dynamic. CDN: cache static assets at edge. Browser: leverage ETags and Last-Modified. API: use Redis/memory cache with TTL. Service workers for offline-first. Invalidate on deploy with cache busting.
Use When
- Configuring HTTP caching
- Setting up CDN
- Optimizing API response times
- Implementing offline support
Skip When
- Real-time data requirements
- User-specific content without cache keys
