Caching








                         Description



              Caching is a way to store

            frequently used information


           in a fast-access place. When

              the computer needs that

          data, it checks the cache first

            for quick access. If the data

           is in the cache, it's retrieved

                 faster; otherwise, the


           computer fetches it from the

                     original source.

                                                            Caching is like keeping your

                                                        favorite snacks on a nearby shelf

                                                         for quick access. This will enable

                                                          you to grab your favorite snack
                                                            easily from the nearby shelf

                                                       instead of going to the store every

                                                                          time.
