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.
