Cache/Caching:

Cached files are webpages that are saved or copied (downloaded) by a web browser so that the next time that user visits the website, the page loads faster.


Cascading Style Sheets:

Also known as CSS, Cascading Style Sheets are used to define the look and feel of a web site outside of the actual HTML file(s) of the website. In recent years, CSS has replaced tables and other HTML-based methods for formatting and laying out websites. There are tons of benefits when using CSS, but some of the most important are the simplification of a site’s HTML files (which can actually increase search engine rankings) and the ability to completely change the style of a site by changing just one file, without having to make several changes to content.


Content Management System:

Also known as CMS, the Content Management System is a back end tool for managing a websites content that separates said content from the design and functionality of the site. Using a CMS generally makes it easier to change the design or function of a site independent of the website’s content. It also makes it easier for content to be added to the site for people who aren’t designers.
