computing component that transparently stores data so that future requests for that data can be served faster

AI overview

A cache is a computing component that stores data in a way that lets your computer or device quickly retrieve it again without having to fetch it from scratch. It matters because it makes programs and websites run faster by remembering information you've already accessed, so you don't have to wait as long the next time you need it.
