Caching can happen at many places, including proxies (i.e. the user�s ISP) and the user�s local machine. The objective is to make efficient use of resources and speed the delivery of content to the end user.While caching can have a positive impact on the user�s experience, it can have a negative impact for site publishers, resulting in undercounts of page views and ad impressions. In response to this problem, sites have implemented various cache-busting techniques to better ensure that all performance statistics are accurately measured.
