How can I implement caching for static files in Django?

You can implement caching for static files in Django by using the built-in caching framework. First, ensure you have caching set up in your settings.py file.

What settings do I need to configure for caching?

In your settings.py, you need to define a cache backend, like Memcached or Redis, and set the CACHE_MIDDLEWARE_SECONDS to specify the cache duration.

Can I cache specific static files only?

Yes, you can use the @cache_page decorator on views that serve static files or configure caching in your web server settings.

What about cache invalidation?

Cache invalidation can be handled by setting appropriate cache keys or using versioning in your static file URLs.
