Caching is a method used to temporarily store data in a storage location on Wix's infrastructure. With caching, you can keep frequently accessed content readily available, reducing the time it takes to retrieve information on your site and enhancing user experience. It's important to manage caching effectively to prevent site visitors from seeing outdated or incorrect content.
Implementing caching can enhance the performance of your Wix site in various areas. Below are the key applications of caching:
While most site pages are automatically cached, you can manually control the cache settings according to your site's needs.

Router caching helps to reduce the need to fetch page data repeatedly each time a site visitor browses to a page handled by a router.

Data caching significantly speeds up data queries. Wix automatically caches the results of certain data queries, so when a visitor makes a query whose results are cached, Wix provides the cached results instead of querying the database again.
