Caching
Ruby on Rails includes a variety of caching mechanisms that can dramatically improve performance. Page caching generates static HTML files representing an entire page, taking the application server completely out of the look for future requests. For dynamic pages, parts often must change for each request, in which case action and fragment caching are usually more appropriate.Articles
