Cache
Cache is a technology designed to store a copy of data or web pages in a temporary storage location, known as a cache, to facilitate rapid access upon subsequent requests. Utilized both in hardware (like CPU caches) and software (such as web browsers), caching helps improve performance and reduce loading times by minimizing the need to repeatedly retrieve the same data from the original source. Effective cache management is crucial for optimizing system efficiency and user experience, particularly in high-traffic web applications and sites, where it significantly decreases server load and improves responsiveness.
