Netlify Caching
Skill Verified ActiveGuide for controlling caching on Netlify's CDN. Use when configuring cache headers, setting up stale-while-revalidate, implementing on-demand cache purge, or understanding Netlify's CDN caching behavior. Covers Cache-Control, Netlify-CDN-Cache-Control, cache tags, durable cache, and framework-specific caching patterns.
To empower developers to effectively manage and optimize caching on Netlify's CDN for improved performance and control.
Features
- Detailed explanation of cache control headers (`Netlify-CDN-Cache-Control`, `CDN-Cache-Control`, `Cache-Control`)
- Patterns for common caching scenarios (e.g., 1-hour CDN cache, stale-while-revalidate)
- Guidance on cache tags and on-demand cache purging
- Configuration examples for immutable assets and cache key variation
- Framework-specific caching considerations (Next.js, Astro, Remix, Nuxt, Vite SPA)
Use Cases
- Configuring cache headers for static and dynamic assets on Netlify.
- Implementing stale-while-revalidate for better user experience.
- Setting up on-demand cache purging using cache tags.
- Understanding and optimizing Netlify's CDN caching behavior for different frameworks.
Non-Goals
- Providing generic web caching advice outside of Netlify's CDN.
- Covering browser-only caching strategies in depth.
- Addressing caching mechanisms unrelated to Netlify's platform.
