DNS Cache

Protocols & Standards
Temporary storage of DNS query results by resolvers or clients to speed up repeated lookups.
← Back to Glossary

DNS caching reduces latency and DNS traffic by storing responses for a period defined by the record’s TTL. Caches exist in resolvers, operating systems, and browsers, which can affect how quickly DNS changes appear to end users.

Use this term when analyzing domain availability, DNS setup, and registry/registrar workflows in DomScan.
