Serve static assets with an efficient cache policy

Overview

Serving static assets with an efficient cache policy helps improve page load times on repeat visits by storing these files locally in the user’s browser.

Every time a browser loads a page, it must download all your page resources such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and images.

Browser caching stores static assets like CSS, JavaScript, images so that the browser can retrieve them from its local cache. This is faster than downloading the resources again from the page’s server.

When browser caching is enabled, a user’s first visit to your page won’t be any quicker; however, subsequent visits to the page will be, due to the cached content.
