Client-side resource caching

The platform HTTPD server is pre-configured for optimal caching of static production content.

Default configuration values for content caching can be found on a Jive-managed server at /usr/local/jive/etc/httpd/conf.d/cache.conf.

You can edit these settings to change default cache time or headers for specific scenarios (changing length of time static images are cached, for example).

Changes to this file are preserved across upgrades to a file named cache.conf.rpmnew. If this file is changed, you must check for new enhancements when upgrading.

Note: Certain resources in plugins and themes are cached for 28 days by default. These include the following file types: .js, .css, .gif, .jpeg, .jpg, and .png. This means that clients won't see updated versions of those files until their cache expires or is cleared. Note that changing the resource's file name also causes it to be downloaded because it isn't yet cached.
