Web clients can cache resources from a server. Afterwards, a client can access its local cache, which reduces the number of requests sent to the server.

Servers can instruct clients to implement caching in certain ways. Servers can also set separate caching policies for any intermediary proxies in-between the server and the client.

Link11 WAAP is a proxy between the clients and the backend. When the backend responds to clients, the outgoing responses pass through L11WAAP. You can instruct the system to preserve or alter the caching instructions in those responses.

This can be done through . Out of the box, L11WAAP includes several cache policy Edge Functions for this purpose. If you need additional assistance in customizing L11WAAP's caching behavior, .
