Hi folks!

The SEO fellow at my agency is asking if I can set up server-side page caching. I have no idea what that is…is this something that I set up with the hosting company? Something that I do within Rapidweaver?

Any help would be much appreciated 🙂

You can setup caching rules in your htaccess file for how the browser will cache content.

You said server side caching, sure he wasn’t talking about client side?  
Most hosting companies don’t offer any kind of server side caching.

You may depending on your host, set expiration dates that would allow browsers, and proxy servers to cache your content.

You could also check out the free CloudFlare plan that would do that and a lot more.
