FastStore projects can now configure caching for GraphQL GET requests using the graphqlCacheControl flag. This flag improves store performance by caching responses and reducing server load, ensuring faster page loads for visitors while maintaining data freshness.

This is an experimental flag and may have limitations. Before using it in the production environment, make sure to test it to ensure compatibility with your store.

The graphqlCacheControl flag supports two key caching parameters:

• maxAge: Defines how long a response remains fresh in the cache (e.g., 5 * 60 seconds for 5 minutes).
• staleWhileRevalidate: Allows stale cache to be served while fetching fresh data in the background (e.g., 60 seconds).

To configure caching for GraphQL GET requests using the graphqlCacheControl flag, follow the instructions in the Configuring GraphQL cache control for GET requests guide.
