Web Technology 27 Why Web Caching?

Web caching aims to improve latency and decrease traffic by storing copies of frequently requested content close to clients, such as in an institutional cache within the same network. This reduces response times and traffic outside the network by fulfilling requests from the closer cache rather than distant servers, helping alleviate bottlenecks on links connecting the local network to the broader Internet.
