Definition

What does it mean in practice?

For websites and online services, Browser cache affects response time, reliability, resource usage and the quality of the network path.

A practical Hostilla.pl example

Measure the same URL from a repeatable location before and after a change. Browser cache should be correlated with server response time, application logs, resource use, caching and the network path rather than judged from one browser refresh.

What should you check?

  • the exact URL, device, location and test time
  • a baseline for response time and page metrics
  • PHP, database, disk, cache and resource usage
  • one controlled change followed by the same test
