@NHSBSA-Open-Data The caching is for the static assets like css, js etc not for the entire page.

What it will affect

When we cache the statics, we are not loading the fonts, css, js etc everytime but the browser will store that in the cache which prevent extra overhead of loading the files from the server. We are not caching the whole page, means the data will come fresh.

The slowness of the portal is linked to the usage also, which will be taken care with the architectural change of separating the Datastore API and the CKAN API's

afaik this was done in staging but not in prod. @shubham-mahajan can you confirm the status of separating the Datastore API and CKAN API?

[shubham-mahajan]

@Daniellappv Yes, This is done in staging but not in prod

Hi @NHSBSA-Open-Data Can we go ahead with enabling the cache, along with the architectural change of separating the Datastore API and the CKAN APIs in production as well?
