Optimasi Performa Web dengan Teknik Advanced Caching

Performa website adalah faktor krusial yang mempengaruhi user experience dan SEO ranking. Salah satu teknik paling efektif untuk meningkatkan performa adalah implementasi caching strategy yang tepat.

Jenis-jenis Caching

1. Browser Caching

# HTTP Headers untuk Browser Caching
Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000, immutable
ETag: "abc123xyz"
Last-Modified: Wed, 15 Nov 2024 12:00:00 GMT

2. CDN Caching

Content Delivery Network menyimpan assets di berbagai lokasi geografis untuk mengurangi latency.

3. Application-Level Caching

// Redis caching example
const redis = require('redis');
const client = redis.createClient();

async function getCachedData(key) {
  try {
    const cached = await client.get(key);
    return cached ? JSON.parse(cached) : null;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Cache error:', error);
    return null;
  }
}

Service Workers untuk Advanced Caching

Service Workers memungkinkan kontrol granular atas caching strategy:

// sw.js
const CACHE_NAME = 'app-cache-v1';
const STATIC_CACHE = 'static-cache-v1';
const DYNAMIC_CACHE = 'dynamic-cache-v1';

// Install event
self.addEventListener('install', event => {
  event.waitUntil(
    caches.open(STATIC_CACHE)
      .then(cache => {
        return cache.addAll([
          '/',
          '/styles/main.css',
          '/scripts/app.js',
          '/images/logo.png'
        ]);
      })
  );
});

// Fetch event dengan caching strategies
self.addEventListener('fetch', event => {
  // Cache First Strategy untuk assets statis
  if (event.request.url.includes('/assets/')) {
    event.respondWith(
      caches.match(event.request)
        .then(response => {
          return response || fetch(event.request)
            .then(fetchResponse => {
              return caches.open(STATIC_CACHE)
                .then(cache => {
                  cache.put(event.request, fetchResponse.clone());
                  return fetchResponse;
                });
            });
        })
    );
  }
  
  // Network First Strategy untuk API calls
  else if (event.request.url.includes('/api/')) {
    event.respondWith(
      fetch(event.request)
        .then(response => {
          const responseClone = response.clone();
          caches.open(DYNAMIC_CACHE)
            .then(cache => {
              cache.put(event.request, responseClone);
            });
          return response;
        })
        .catch(() => {
          return caches.match(event.request);
        })
    );
  }
});

Database Query Caching

// Prisma dengan caching layer
const NodeCache = require('node-cache');
const queryCache = new NodeCache({ stdTTL: 600 }); // 10 menit

async function getCachedUsers() {
  const cacheKey = 'all_users';
  let users = queryCache.get(cacheKey);
  
  if (!users) {
    users = await prisma.user.findMany();
    queryCache.set(cacheKey, users);
  }
  
  return users;
}

Implementasi Cache-Control Headers

// Express.js middleware
function setCacheHeaders(req, res, next) {
  // Static assets - cache for 1 year
  if (req.url.match(/\.(css|js|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico|svg)$/)) {
    res.set('Cache-Control', 'public, max-age=31536000, immutable');
  }
  
  // HTML pages - cache for 1 hour with revalidation
  else if (req.url.match(/\.html$/) || req.url === '/') {
    res.set('Cache-Control', 'public, max-age=3600, must-revalidate');
  }
  
  // API responses - no cache
  else if (req.url.startsWith('/api/')) {
    res.set('Cache-Control', 'no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate');
  }
  
  next();
}

app.use(setCacheHeaders);

Monitoring Cache Performance

// Cache hit rate monitoring
class CacheMonitor {
  constructor() {
    this.hits = 0;
    this.misses = 0;
  }
  
  recordHit() {
    this.hits++;
  }
  
  recordMiss() {
    this.misses++;
  }
  
  getHitRate() {
    const total = this.hits + this.misses;
    return total > 0 ? (this.hits / total * 100).toFixed(2) : 0;
  }
  
  getStats() {
    return {
      hits: this.hits,
      misses: this.misses,
      hitRate: `${this.getHitRate()}%`
    };
  }
}

Best Practices

1. Cache Invalidation Strategy

// Smart cache invalidation
function invalidateUserCache(userId) {
  const patterns = [
    `user:${userId}`,
    'users:all',
    `user:${userId}:posts`
  ];
  
  patterns.forEach(pattern => {
    cache.del(pattern);
  });
}

2. Versioning untuk Cache Busting

// Webpack configuration untuk cache busting
module.exports = {
  output: {
    filename: '[name].[contenthash].js',
    chunkFilename: '[name].[contenthash].chunk.js'
  }
};

3. Progressive Enhancement

// Detect service worker support
if ('serviceWorker' in navigator) {
  navigator.serviceWorker.register('/sw.js')
    .then(registration => {
      console.log('SW registered:', registration);
    })
    .catch(error => {
      console.log('SW registration failed:', error);
    });
}

Implementasi caching strategy yang tepat dapat menghasilkan:

• 50-80% reduction dalam loading time
• Improved Core Web Vitals scores
• Better user experience dengan faster navigation
• Reduced server load dan bandwidth costs
• Higher SEO rankings karena page speed factor

Key takeaways:

• Gunakan cache headers yang tepat untuk setiap jenis content
• Implementasikan service workers untuk advanced caching strategies
• Monitor cache performance secara regular
