Headless 360Beginnercachingperformance
What caching strategies help headless storefront performance?
Real World Scenario
Product pages load slowly because every visit hits Salesforce APIs. You suggest beginner-friendly caching.
Expected Answer
• Cache relatively static data—catalog categories, product details with short TTL
• Use CDN for images and static assets from commerce media
• Personalized cart and pricing should not be cached publicly
• Middleware can hold session-scoped cache keys per shopper
• Invalidate cache on promotion or price updates via webhooks or schedules
Follow-Up Questions & Answers

No. Cart is user-specific and changes often. Only cache at session layer with proper auth.
Architect Perspective
Cache public reads, never private writes—that rule covers most beginner scenarios.
