# Control caching behavior 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 [Edge Functions](/console-walkthrough/sites/edge-functions.md). 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, [contact support](/support.md). --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://waap.docs.link11.com/using-the-product/how-do-i.../cache-modes.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
