Improving Java web site performance with asset caching 11
In this post, I’ll be talking about a solution I developed at my day job to improve the performance of our web site by allowing the browser to cache JavaScript, CSS, and image files. We were noticing that much of our traffic was from requests for these assets, rather than our page content. Since these asset files rarely change (once per production deployment), we wanted to have the user’s browser cache them until the next build.
