HTTP caching mechanisms
Expires: Sat, 09 Sep 2017 14:30:00 GMT
Cache-control: public, max-age=3600,
s-maxage=86400
Cache-control: private, no-cache, no-store

✓Stateless
✓Well-defined TTL
✓Cache / no-cache per resource
✓Cache variations
✓Conditional requests
✓HTTP fragments for non-
cacheable content
In an ideal world

✓Multi-lingual (Accept-Language)
✓Nav
✓Header
✓Footer
✓Main
✓Login page & private content
