What are some effective caching strategies for AJAX requests?

There are several effective caching strategies for AJAX requests, including using browser caching, server-side caching, and implementing cache control headers. Would you like to know more about any specific strategy?

Can you explain how browser caching works?

Browser caching allows web browsers to store copies of files locally, so when a user revisits a page, the browser can load it faster without making a new request to the server. This reduces load times and server load.

What about server-side caching?

Server-side caching involves storing responses on the server, so repeated requests for the same resource can be served quickly without reprocessing. This can be done using techniques like memcached or Redis.

How do cache control headers affect caching?

Cache control headers dictate how, and for how long, browsers and intermediate caches should store responses. They can specify whether a resource is cacheable, how long it should be cached, and when it should be revalidated.
