Caching is the storage of assets that are regularly used in order to save time and make computing operations much faster. This dramatically improves the user experience. In browsers, caching is crucial as it stores data in a local machine and eliminates downloading every time a user visits a website. The assets stored are images, CSS, js files, and a lot more data. These assets speed up web page loading time as the browser only downloads the necessary data from the server saving network bandwidth, both on the server and user's end.
