Caching options
Both IBM Web Content Manager generated Web pages and content from external data sources can be cached by the Web Content Manager application. If utilized correctly, Web Content Manager caching can dramatically increase the performance of a site.
- Web content cache types
Learn about the types of caching used by IBM Web Content Manager, basic web content caching and advanced web content caching.
- Caching versus pre-rendering
Content displayed in rendering portlets and through IBM Web Content Manager can be cached. An alternative to caching is the use of the pre-rendering feature. View the differences between each strategy.
- Expiring strategies
Like caching strategies, a server's default expiring strategies can be set in the WCM WCMConfigService service. Custom expiring parameters can also be set in connect tags and URL requests to override a server's default expiring strategies.
- Web content cache configuration
We can tailor the caching behavior of the web content environment by changing configuration settings such as the default cache type and expire settings.
- Data cache configuration
Data caching is used to cache data retrieved by the IBM Web Content Manager application from external sources using connect tags or by requests made through URLs.
