One of the most effective yet overlooked methods to improve SuiteCommerce Advanced (SCA) performance is implementing proper caching strategies. NetSuite provides multiple caching options, including Application-Level Caching, Edge Caching, and Content Delivery Networks (CDNs).
- Application-Level Caching: Using the
nlapiCacheAPI, developers can cache frequently accessed data, reducing API calls and improving speed. - Edge Caching: NetSuite allows caching of static assets such as images, CSS, and JavaScript at the edge to minimize server requests.
- CDN Optimization: Enabling a Content Delivery Network (CDN) can significantly reduce page load times by serving assets from the nearest geographic location.
By configuring these caching layers correctly, developers can decrease load times, reduce server stress, and improve user experience. Proper cache invalidation mechanisms should also be in place to ensure that users always see up-to-date content.
