Cache Redirection

From Networking Terms

A Cache server stores frequently requested HTTP content that is considered to be cacheable. Most static content objects can be considered cacheable, such as images, html pages, text, documents, style sheets, scripts. Dynamic content is not considered to be cacheable, as it needs the origin server to operate on the data. Cache redirection works by configuring the virtual load balancer to send HTTP requests for cacheable content to the cache server, and non-cacheable content to the origin web server. The goal of caching is to improve response time, or the time it takes to download a web page to an end users browser or application. Faster downloads of content improves the user experience.
