Caching & Performance for Headless VTEX

When this skill applies

Use this skill when building or optimizing a headless VTEX storefront for performance. Proper caching is the single most impactful performance optimization for headless commerce.

• Configuring CDN or edge caching for Intelligent Search and Catalog APIs
• Adding BFF-level caching (in-memory or Redis) for frequently requested data
• Deciding which VTEX API responses can be cached and which must never be cached
• Implementing cache invalidation when catalog data changes

Do not use this skill for:

• BFF architecture and API routing decisions (use headless-bff-architecture)
• Intelligent Search API integration specifics (use headless-intelligent-search)
• Checkout proxy and OrderForm management (use headless-checkout-proxy)
