Leveraging Netlify Cache Control

To optimize the performance of my website, I leveraged Netlify Cache Control to manage caching for my static assets, such as images, CSS, and JavaScript files. Here's how:

  1. Configuring Cache Headers: I set cache headers for my assets using Netlify's configuration file (netlify.toml). This allowed me to control the caching behavior for different types of assets.
  2. Cache invalidation: I used Netlify's cache invalidation feature to automatically update the cache when I made changes to my assets. This ensured that users always received the latest version of my assets.
  3. Cache optimization: I optimized my cache settings to reduce the number of requests made to my origin server, resulting in faster page loads and improved user experience.
  4. Edge caching: I enabled edge caching to store my assets at Netlify's edge locations worldwide. This reduced latency and improved performance for users accessing my website from different regions.
  5. Monitoring cache performance: I used Netlify's analytics and monitoring tools to track cache performance, identify issues, and optimize my caching strategy.
