Caching On RSS

We hold these truths to be self evident...you WILL pay taxes, you WILL eventually die, and the customer is ALWAYS right. It doesn't matter how strong you are eventually your body will give out, not matter how rich and powerful you are, the IRS just wants (and will get) its cut and finally not matter what business you are if the customer isn't happy then your business will fail.

What makes our customer's happy is having a website that performs well. This usually falls into different categories. It must have good design, usability and backend performance. In corywiles.com's ongoing effort to make the website and our client's webites perform as best as it possibly can I have added a new feature to the RSS feeds at the bottom of the site. (Made possibe by our good friends over at Zend)

Though the concept of caching has been around as long as computing itself, I have seen too many times where frequently requested content/widgets/applications are not cached. Don't be a victim of poor website performance. Insist that your web developer has cache on hand.
