What is the maximum value suggested for cache max-age in static resources caching?

[shet01]

What is the maximum value suggested for cache max-age in hybris - production environment for the below property?

storefront.staticResourceFilter.response.header.Cache-Control

If we increase the cache duration to 1 year, will it be good?

Hi Sneha,

This property is used to enable client side caching for static resource, as of what value is suggested, you should consider these questions

1. Whether the static resources can be updated in the backend?
2. Whether the static resources are updated frequently or not?
3. What impact it will generate if the cached static resources are obsolete?

Based on your answers, then give it a reasonable value. Currently, the default value for storefront.staticResourceFilter.response.header.Cache-Control is 600 seconds, which should be the suggested value in common case, but please note, there is no so called 'reasonable' or 'maximum suggested' value for all scenarios, you should set it different value case by case.
