cfcache
Description
Stores a copy of a page on the server and/or client computer, to improve page rendering
performance. To do this, the tag creates temporary files that contain the static HTML returned
from a ColdFusion page.
Use this tag if it is not necessary to get dynamic content each time a user accesses a page.
You can use this tag for simple URLs and for URLs that contain URL parameters.

History
ColdFusion MX:
•
Deprecated the
cachedirectory
and
timeout
attributes. They might not work, and might
cause an error, in later releases.
•
Added the
timespan
attribute.
•
Changed how pages are cached: the default
action
attribute value,
cache
, caches a page on
the server and the client. (In earlier releases, this option cached a page only on the server.)
•
Changed the source of the
protocol
and
port
values: the default
protocol
and
port
values
are now taken from the current page URL. (In earlier releases, they were
"http"
and
"80"
,
respectively.)
•
Changed how session state is handled when caching a page: this tag can cache pages that
depend on session state, including pages that are secured with a ColdFusion login. (In earlier
releases, the session state was cleared when caching the page, causing authentication to be lost.)
•
Changed how files are cached: this tag uses a hash() of the URL for the filename to cache a file.
(In earlier releases, ColdFusion used the cfcache.map file.)
