+<h1>Web Page Caching<a class="headerlink" href="#web-page-caching" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
+<p>CodeIgniter lets you cache your pages in order to achieve maximum
+performance.</p>
+<p>Although CodeIgniter is quite fast, the amount of dynamic information
+you display in your pages will correlate directly to the server
+resources, memory, and processing cycles utilized, which affect your
+page load speeds. By caching your pages, since they are saved in their
+fully rendered state, you can achieve performance that nears that of
+static web pages.</p>
+<div class="section" id="how-does-caching-work">
+<h2>How Does Caching Work?<a class="headerlink" href="#how-does-caching-work" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>Caching can be enabled on a per-page basis, and you can set the length
+of time that a page should remain cached before being refreshed. When a
+page is loaded for the first time, the cache file will be written to
+your application/cache folder. On subsequent page loads the cache file
+will be retrieved and sent to the requesting user’s browser. If it has
+expired, it will be deleted and refreshed before being sent to the
+browser.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="enabling-caching">
+<h2>Enabling Caching<a class="headerlink" href="#enabling-caching" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>To enable caching, put the following tag in any of your controller
+methods:</p>
+<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">output</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">cache</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$n</span><span class="p">);</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>Where <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$n</span></code> is the number of <strong>minutes</strong> you wish the page to remain
+cached between refreshes.</p>
+<p>The above tag can go anywhere within a method. It is not affected by
+the order that it appears, so place it wherever it seems most logical to
+you. Once the tag is in place, your pages will begin being cached.</p>
+<div class="admonition important">
+<p class="first admonition-title">Important</p>
+<p class="last">Because of the way CodeIgniter stores content for output,
+caching will only work if you are generating display for your
+controller with a <a class="reference internal" href="views.html"><span class="doc">view</span></a>.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="admonition important">
+<p class="first admonition-title">Important</p>
+<p class="last">If you change configuration options that might affect
+your output, you have to manually delete your cache files.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="admonition note">
+<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
+<p class="last">Before the cache files can be written you must set the file
+permissions on your <em>application/cache/</em> directory such that
+it is writable.</p>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="deleting-caches">
+<h2>Deleting Caches<a class="headerlink" href="#deleting-caches" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>If you no longer wish to cache a file you can remove the caching tag and
+it will no longer be refreshed when it expires.</p>
+<div class="admonition note">
+<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
+<p class="last">Removing the tag will not delete the cache immediately. It will
+have to expire normally.</p>
+</div>
