 You can configure output caching using IIS for a specofic amount of time which you need to provide while configuring it like for 1 week, for one month, it depends on your need, here are the steps to do it using IIS

  • From the Start menu, click Administrative Tools, and then click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
  • In the tree view on the left side, find your application/website.
  • Select the Output Caching menu item from the middle under "IIS".
  • In the right column, click Add in the Action menu. You can add your output caching rule here.
  • In the File name extension field, for example, type .php, and then select User-mode caching.
  • Click Advanced, and then select the Query string variable(s) check box.
  • Enter the appropriate variable(s) in the Query string variable(s) text box.

To Configure it using Web.Config file

You can also configure the caching feature in the local Web.config file, which is found in the content directory. Below is a sample of the configuration needed for a ShowStockPrice.asp page with a varyByQueryString parameter of * (meaning cache all unique variations of querystring parameters) and a timeout of 1 second.

<configuration> 
     <location path="showStockPrice.asp">     
       <system.webserver>        
         <caching>         
           <profiles>
             <add varybyquerystring="*"location="Any"
               duration="00:00:01" policy="CacheForTimePeriod"            
               extension=".asp">
           </profiles>
         </caching>
       </system.webserver>
     </location>
</configuration>

There is another way using IIS explained in detail in this article

https://qawithexperts.com/article/asp.net/how-to-enable-caching-in-iis/24

For Php users to enable it, add those lines to your .htaccess file:

## EXPIRES CACHING ##
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType image/jpg "access 1 year"
ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access 1 year"
ExpiresByType image/gif "access 1 year"
ExpiresByType image/png "access 1 year"
ExpiresByType text/css "access 1 month"
ExpiresByType application/pdf "access 1 month"
ExpiresByType application/javascript "access 1 month"
ExpiresByType application/x-javascript "access 1 month"
ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash "access 1 month"
ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access 1 year"
ExpiresDefault "access 2 days"
</IfModule>
## EXPIRES CACHING ##

Make sure the mod_expires module is enabled on your server by running the following command via SSH access (or ask your host about this)

sudo a2enmod expires
