📊Overview
This guide describes a hybrid caching plan for Sitecore XM Cloud apps on Vercel, using various caching layers to enhance performance in different environments. In this article, I will explain the caching details using sample components that call external APIs to fetch necessary information and use Vercel’s edge network for quick content delivery. Advanced caching methods, such as response headers, ETag checks, and Vercel edge functions, are crucial for speed, scalability, and smooth content delivery in a Next.js or headless Sitecore setup. Effective caching reduces API calls to XM Cloud’s GraphQL endpoint, decreases server load, and improves Core Web Vitals, which boosts SEO rankings.
