Like browser caching, proxy caching works by utilizing proxy servers to store cached copies of content from your origin server. However, unlike browser caching, which can be modified or controlled by the user, proxy caching is controlled and managed by the CDN (Content Delivery Network) service provider.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;How Does Proxy Caching Work?&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:30|text_align:center|color:%232b2b2b|line_height:1.5&#8243; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]Deciding on whether the cached content needs to be served versus new content is set by the cache-control headers. These are a few of the different cache-control headers that are used:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>No-cache.<\/strong> This header tells the server that it should not send any cached content or objects from the server.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Max-age.<\/strong> This header compares the cached content or resources to its age. If the content is less than the max-age, then the cached content can be used.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Min-fresh.<\/strong> This header is used to tell the browser\/client that it wants content that is within a certain \u201cfreshness\u201d threshold. Its expiration can be no less than its current age, plus the specified time (in seconds).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Max-stale.<\/strong> This header sent from the client tells the server that it will accept objects, if they are not too \u201cold.\u201d This is typically used in situations where browsers will display content, even if network or Internet connections are poor, instead of serving up nothing to the user.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is important to review these headers to ensure that your web pages are set up to handle different user and client\/browser situations.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Benefits of Proxy Caching&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|font_size:30|text_align:center|color:%232b2b2b|line_height:1.5&#8243; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">One of the benefits of proxy servers is that they can be used to deliver website resources, or objects, which can be documents, images, and text, to users located in different geographic regions, rather than relying solely on your origin server. In turn, this provides for quick page load times, less latency, and better overall visitor experience. This works only after the first visit. On the initial visit, the origin server delivers the content to the user. On subsequent visits, the proxy server is utilized to deliver the content to the user. Proxy caching, used in conjunction with browser caching, can be a fantastic way to ensure website performance. Proxy caching can also assist with delivering dynamic content or more complex applications in a more efficient manner.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row margin_top=&#8221;60&#8243; margin_bottom=&#8221;0&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1636595147911{margin-bottom: 15px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1636595227743{padding-top: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 60px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;background-color: #f6f6f6 !important;}&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;17233&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_rounded&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;<b>Lighthouse<\/b>&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:p|font_size:20|text_align:center|color:%232b2b2b|line_height:1&#8243; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Lighthouse is an open-source tool that is used to run an audit against your web pages and provides scores and suggestions for improving page performance, accessibility, SEO, and more.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=&#8221;Learn More&#8221; style=&#8221;flat&#8221; color=&#8221;primary&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; i_icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fas fa-location-arrow&#8221; add_icon=&#8221;true&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dotcom-tools.com%2Fweb-performance%2Flighthouse%2F&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1636595173585{padding-top: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 60px !important;background-color: #f6f6f6 !important;}&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;17284&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_rounded&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;<b>PageSpeed Terms<\/b>&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:p|font_size:20|text_align:center|color:%232b2b2b|line_height:1&#8243; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">PageSpeed Insights is a tool created by Google that reports on the performance of a page on both mobile and desktop devices, and provides suggestions on how that page may be improved.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=&#8221;Learn More&#8221; style=&#8221;flat&#8221; color=&#8221;primary&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; i_icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fas fa-location-arrow&#8221; add_icon=&#8221;true&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dotcom-tools.com%2Fweb-performance%2Fpagespeed%2F&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1636595196399{padding-top: 60px !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 60px !important;background-color: #f6f6f6 !important;}&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;17281&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_rounded&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;<b>YSlow<\/b>&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:p|font_size:20|text_align:center|color:%232b2b2b|line_height:1&#8243; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">YSlow is an open-source website analysis tool that can be used to identify web page performance issues.
