Cache Policy

Last Updated: May 10, 2025

1. Introduction

This Cache Policy explains how Astrekk Labs implements and manages caching on our website. Caching is a technique used to store copies of files in a temporary storage location (cache) to improve website performance and user experience.

2. Types of Caching We Use

We implement several types of caching to optimize our website's performance:

• Browser Caching: Stores static resources in your browser to reduce loading times on subsequent visits
• Server-Side Caching: Improves server response times by storing frequently accessed data
• Content Delivery Network (CDN) Caching: Distributes cached content across multiple servers worldwide

3. Cache Duration

We set different cache durations for different types of content to ensure optimal performance while maintaining content freshness:

Content Type	Cache Duration	Purpose
Images (JPG, JPEG, GIF, PNG)	1 year	Static images rarely change and can be cached for extended periods
CSS Files	1 month	Style sheets may be updated periodically
JavaScript Files	1 month	Scripts may be updated for functionality improvements
PDF Documents	1 month	Documentation and resources may be updated

4. Cache Control

We implement various cache control mechanisms to ensure proper content delivery:

• Cache-Control headers to specify caching behavior
• ETags for resource validation
• Last-Modified headers for content freshness
• Version control for static assets

5. Cache Invalidation

We have processes in place to invalidate cached content when necessary:

• Automatic cache clearing when content is updated
• Manual cache clearing for emergency updates
• Version-based cache busting for static assets

6. Your Control Over Caching

While we implement caching to improve your experience, you have control over how caching works in your browser:

• You can clear your browser cache at any time
• You can disable caching in your browser settings
• You can use private/incognito browsing to prevent caching

8. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cache Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our caching practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please check this page periodically for any updates.
