corillo181 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 i see a lot of codes that are use with header no cache i know this is meant not to let the user catch your page content, but of what benifit is it? shouldn't this be for a secure website? for a normal page wouldn't it be best to let the user cache so the page to be refresh faster? i try searching for this questions, but no real explanation on why or why not.

chocopi Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 if you have something like captcha in your page, the cacheing can make the same image appear again and again, making the captcha worthless ~ Chocopi Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/58026-cache/#findComment-287758 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathStar Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 The header tags is used for things like captcha and things you do not want the users browser to save. The reason people do not use it on normal pages is so that the images and things get cached, and saves them valuable bandwidth. So it really isn't secure/non-secure if you ask me.

corillo181 Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 alright so i can use it in pages with forms and where i don't want the user to get any information from the page, but for any other page that does not have any security risk in formation there is no problem with cache.
