Nuxt Multi Cache

Overview

Nuxt Multi Cache is a module that provides server-side caching for Nuxt 3 apps. It offers multiple layers of caching, including SSR component caching, route caching, data caching, and CDN cache control headers. This module is particularly useful for Nuxt apps that serve a large number of pages from a CMS, receive high volumes of requests, have frequently changing data, or require fetching data from multiple APIs for rendering a single page.

Features

• SSR Component Caching: Caches the rendered markup of a component, allowing it to be reused without re-rendering.
• Route Caching: Caches rendered pages or custom API responses to improve performance.
• Data Caching: Provides a generic cache for storing any type of data.
• CDN Cache Control Headers: Sets cache control and cache tags headers for CDN providers like Cloudflare, Fastly, and Varnish.
