What is Caching?
The process of storing copies of data in a temporary storage location so that they can be accessed more quickly.

Caching works on a simple principle: doing the work once and remembering the result. When a computer performs a task (like fetching data from a slow database or calculating a complex formula), it stores the result in a fast 'cache' (like RAM). The next time it needs that data, it just grabs it from the cache instantly.

Caching is like writing down a phone number on a sticky note and putting it on your computer screen. Instead of having to go to the other room and look through a giant phone book every time you want to call that person, you can just look at the note and dial the number immediately.
