Browser doesn't seem to cache images stored on Backendless

File Service
1

I’ve used Image components which refer to images stored on Backendless. They however don’t seem to be cached by the browser (when using URLs pointing to pictures on the Internet the caching works fine). They also load relatively slowly. Should I do something different?

Hi Vlad, any news on this? It seems my iOS devices still don’t seem to cache the files. Thx, Tom

Thanks for the update! It’s less critical than the Google Maps support.

Hi, @Tom_Van_den_Eynde

First of all, sorry you had to wait so long! We updated cloud servers with a fix for the issue you described above. We added ETag cache for static files stored on Backendless. Could you kindly let us know whether it works for you well?

Regards,
Marina

Hi! I picked up Backendless again (as it’s the best no/low code tool on the market) but I have the impression that file caching is still an issue. Pictures seem to be loaded again and again from the server (not only causing UI delays but also much more server and network load)…

Hello @Tom_Van_den_Eynde1,

have you configured a cache control policy for the pictures folder?
