What is caching:  
 
  • Objective:
  • Speeding up the display of pages on the user side.
  • Thus avoiding long waits.
    Types of caching:
  • Client side caching
  • How achieved:
  • In general via client-site Javascript or a Java Class server side.
  • Preloading the required pictures into the browser temporary files (cache) en loading from there.
  • Large quantities can be loaded if server side is used.
  • Server side caching
  • How achieved:
  • Avoiding the multiple generation of pages, by keeping a generated version for a certain time in the server cache.
  • If caching if used together with auto-GZip compression, pages are compressed before they are cached. Of course pages which vary constantly will be compressed but cached with a lifetime of 0 minutes.
  • The browser will do the compression automatically

  • Sample on site: http://www.aat-garden.com
  • Here you can see pages with 20-30 pictures on 1 page.
  • Caching is actually achieved via a server side class called from the top of the index page.
  • Caching will continue, even if the viewer changes pages!
  • If a normal speed connection is available all is precached in probably half a minute to 1 minute.
  • Sample on site: http://www.absoft-my.com/pondok
  • Uses 100% page compression/caching on server side.
  • Even big pages are reduced to only 4-5K by compression.
