Definition — What is Caching?

Caching is the process of storing copies of files in a cache, or temporary storage location so that they can be accessed more quickly.

A common use is to store information in a web browser. The cache contains information stored by a Web Browser on your hard disc so that you don't have to download the same material repeatedly from a remote computer. Browsers keep copies of all the Web pages that you view so that the pages can be redisplayed quickly when you go back to them.
