Cursor performance

Cache-Control Headers Set Incorrectly

After Cursor refactored your server response headers, caching is not working correctly. Either assets are cached too long (users see stale content) or not cached at all (every request hits server).

Cache-Control headers were changed incorrectly.

Error Messages You Might See

Users see stale content Every request hits server Cache not being used Assets downloaded repeatedly
Users see stale contentEvery request hits serverCache not being usedAssets downloaded repeatedly

Common Causes

  1. Cache-Control header removed entirely
  2. Max-age set to 0, disabling all caching
  3. No-cache or no-store applied to static assets
  4. Immutable directive removed from versioned assets
  5. Different headers applied to HTML vs CSS/JS

How to Fix It

Static assets (hashed): Cache-Control: max-age=31536000, immutable. HTML: max-age=0, no-cache (always revalidate). API: appropriate based on data freshness. Use ETag for validation. Test with DevTools Network tab.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I cache bust versioned assets?

Use content hash in filename (app.abc123.js). Set long max-age. HTML loads correct version number.

What's the difference between cache-control directives?

no-cache: revalidate before use. no-store: don't cache. max-age: seconds to cache. immutable: never changes.
