First, we will start by adding a cache to our server. We do not want to constantly recompile pages that we have already compiled before. To do this, we will implement a class that surrounds a map. This class will keep track of 10 files at a time. We will also implement the timestamp when the file was last used. When we reach the eleventh file, we will see that it is not in the cache and that we have hit the maximum number of files we can hold in the cache. We will replace the compiled page with the earliest timestamped file.
This is known as a Least Recently Used (LRU) cache. There are many other types of caching strategies out there, such as a Time To Live (TTL) cache. This type of cache will eliminate files that have been in the cache for too long. This is a great type of cache for when we keep using the same files over and over again, but we eventually...
