What Is Cache and Why Does onNinth Use It?
When your website is ready to go live, we don’t just push a button and hope for the best — we make sure it’s fast, efficient, and ready to handle visitors from around the world. One of the most important steps we take before launch is enabling caching.
But what exactly is “cache,” and why is it so important for your site? Let’s break it down.
What Is Cache?
Think of your website like a popular coffee shop. If every customer walked in and you had to grind the beans, brew the coffee, and make the foam from scratch every single time, the line would move slowly — especially during rush hour.
Caching is like making a big batch of coffee ahead of time so that when customers walk in, you can serve them instantly. Instead of rebuilding each page from scratch every time someone visits, caching stores ready-to-go versions of your site so visitors get them lightning-fast.
Why We Enable Caching Before Launch
Once we get the green light to take your site into production, we enable caching for several reasons:
- Speed for Your Visitors
Cached pages load significantly faster because the server doesn’t have to “rebuild” the page every time. This means your visitors — whether they’re in New York, London, or Sydney — see your content almost instantly. - Better Global Reach
We store copies of your site on servers around the world. This way, no matter where your visitors are, they’ll get the nearest copy of your site. Less travel time for the data means faster load times. - Reliability Under Pressure
Got a big promotion or news feature? Caching helps your site handle sudden spikes in traffic without slowing down or crashing. It’s like having extra lanes open on a busy highway. - Improved SEO
Search engines love fast websites. Faster loading speeds can help boost your rankings and improve how your site appears in search results. - Better User Experience
People expect websites to load instantly. If they have to wait, they often leave. Caching keeps your site snappy, helping you keep visitors engaged and happy.
A Small Change That Makes a Big Difference
You might not notice caching working in the background — and that’s the point. It quietly makes your site faster, smoother, and more reliable. For your visitors, it simply feels like your website is always ready and waiting for them.
At onNinth, we believe a great website isn’t just about looking good — it’s about delivering your content quickly and consistently to anyone, anywhere in the world. That’s why, before your site goes live, we turn on caching to make sure it’s performing at its absolute best.
