Proxy_cache or direct static files ? (6 replies)

Hello,

I don't quite understand what I could get from caching with proxy_cache vs serving static files directly.

Everywhere people tend to say that it is better to cache, but isn't caching the same as serving directly from static file ?

Say that I serve home.html from a plain static html file, would I get any benefit to use reverse proxy + cache to serve it ?

Thanks,
