I am developing a web page, and all the webpage tests recommend me to use a cache system. I've been researching and I have seen that there are three main ways. One is to use Meta tags with the expire atribute. Another is to use PHP headers. And the other is to use the .htacces.
Is there any different between these options? Which one do you recommend me? (By the way, I'm using Laravel).
Greetings and thanks.
分享 Meta tags are not an effective way to specify cache control headers, you need real HTTP headers.
The client has no way of telling how you generate your headers, so it doesn't matter if you use PHP or Apache directives. PHP is probably going to be easier for you for anything that uses PHP already, while Apache directives are the only way to deal with static files.
As usual, putting Apache directives in a load time configuration file will be slightly more efficient than using a runtime one (i.e. .htaccess).
