Enable Output Cache Settings In SharePoint Online

Purpose of Output Cache

• Using Output Cache settings, we can improve the page performance in SharePoint online.
• Faster page load and better user experience
• Page output cache settings can be configured at the site collection level, the site level, and for individual page layouts.
• It reduces the server control activities and calls to the database

Note. Make sure to activate the SharePoint publishing infrastructure feature on your site collection.

The site collection administrator can only define a new cache profile.

Step 1. Go to the SharePoint site collection where you want to enable the output cache.

Step 2. Then, go to the Site Settings page by clicking the gear icon on the site.

Step 3. On the Site Settings page, you can see the Site collection output cache settings under the Site Administration category.

Step 4. Then, check the “Enable Output Cache” on the output cache settings page, as shown below.

Step 5. Then, select the cache profile. By default, 3 cache profiles are available. I’ve selected Intranet since I am enabling this feature for an intranet site.

Step 6. If you want individual page layouts to be able to override the default cache profile, click the "Page Layouts can use a different page output cache profile" option under Page Output Cache Policy.

Step 7. Then, enable the debug cache information page if you want to include the date and time when the page contents were last rendered.

Step 8. Finally, click the “OK” button to save the output cache settings.

We can configure the output cache settings at the site level.
