# Web Caching in Slate

Web caching is the process of storing copies of deployed code temporarily at various edge servers in a network after the first hit to the [Slate URL](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/slate/help/slate-access-url). The subsequent requests to the same URL will be fulfilled from the cached edge server rather than fetching the data again from the origin. This process of serving content from a cache instead of fetching it each time from the web server significantly improves your web application's performance, leading to faster loading times and reduced server load. 

### Enable Web Cache

You can enable web cache for your application by following the below steps:

1. Click on any deployment and navigate to the **Configuration** tab in the left pane. 

2. Expand **General Settings** and click on the ellipsis icon in the **Cache** section.

The cache will be enabled by default for your deployment. 

### Disable Web Cache

1. You can disable it, if not required by clicking **Disable**.

2. Click **Disable** to confirm the operation.

Cache will now be disabled for your current deployment. 

> **Note:** You can enable the cache at any time when you need it again.
