Cache Headers Feature

Sets the inclusions, exclusions and lifetime of HTTP cache headers

If code is edited in the IDE that affects the front-end, you must use the Cache Headers feature to reset the cache key for those changes to reflect in the User Interface (UI). Only administrators have permissions to do this.

The feature may not be enabled in situations where a performance benefit at the expense of file caching may be not be desired, for example, a VNEXT environment.

If the changes made in the IDE affecting the UI are not reflected, it is likely that the cache headers have not been reset. 

 

Access the Cache Headers Feature by navigating to: System Administration > Integrations > Global Features, then search for cache headers.

Configuration

Section Description
Cache Headers
  • Public: If On, cache all content responses in shared browser cache (advanced - recommend leaving on). For more information, see the external article Cache-Control.
  • Must-Revalidate: When the cached content becomes stale, it will be revalidated with the server (advanced - recommend leaving on).
  • Max age (seconds): Number of seconds to cache content for in the browser.
Exclusions See the blue help text.
Reset
  • Reset cache key: Use this to cause all client browsers to clear content caches and re-download all content. This is necessary when the content has changed, such as when files in the IDE have been modified.  Important: ensure you click Save in the ribbon to save your work after clicking this button.
