What is caching?

In the context of a content delivery network (CDN) caching is the action of storing frequently requested data in multiple edge locations around the world in order to speed up delivery of data.

What is FiveM server caching?

FiveM server caching uses the basic principle of caching but rather than caching website files it caches downloadable assets such as skins, clothing, vehicle textures, maps and other static assets.

How is this helpful?

FiveM server caching is useful for many different types of servers, it improves loading times and join stability for all players as assets as no longer stored on the machine where your FiveM server is located but rather they're hosted globally on a CDN.

Benefits overview:

• Improved loading times for players (regardless of their location)
• Assets are delivered from the edge rather than your server which frees up compute resources on your FiveM server
• Avoids bandwidth bottlenecks when large amount of players join your server
• Reduces bandwidth costs (Assuming you pay for BW)
