Performance Tips#

  1. Use immutable for versioned assets: max-age=31536000, immutable
  2. Enable Brotli compression: Smaller file sizes
  3. Use stale-while-revalidate: Better perceived performance
  4. Cache API responses: Even short TTLs help
  5. Monitor cache hit ratio: Target >90% for static content

Configure appropriate TTLs, implement cache invalidation, and monitor cache performance.
