Vocabulary Word

Definition

'Caching strategies' define the guidelines for storing, accessing, and removing data from cache. The aim is to keep the most useful data conveniently accessible, and discard less useful data to save space.

Examples in Different Contexts

A web developer might explain, 'Implementing effective caching strategies, such as browser and server caching, can significantly enhance the user experience by speeding up content delivery.'
