A Laravel package by Spatie that caches entire HTTP responses via middleware, returning cached responses for repeat GET requests without re-running the application. It supports configurable lifetimes, per-user cache separation, flexible stale-while-revalidate caching, and programmatic or artisan cache clearing.

Use cases

• speed up laravel app by caching full http responses
• cache html and json get requests in laravel
• serve stale pages while refreshing cache in background
• clear response cache via artisan command
• cache responses per logged-in user separately
• reduce server load for slow laravel pages

When to choose

• you run a Laravel app with mostly cacheable GET pages
• you want app-level response caching without configuring Varnish or a CDN
• you need fine-grained control over which routes are cached via middleware
• you want stale-while-revalidate behavior for slightly stale pages

When to avoid

• your app serves highly dynamic, personalized, or frequently changing content
• you already use a reverse proxy like Varnish or a CDN for full-page caching
• you need to cache non-GET requests or binary responses
• you are not using Laravel 12+ with PHP 8.4+
