Why each option
Web caching offers multiple benefits, including reducing bandwidth consumption, decreasing the load on origin servers, and improving content delivery speed.
Web caching reduces bandwidth utilization by serving frequently accessed content from a local cache, eliminating the need to re-download it from the internet.
By handling requests for cached content, web caching offloads processing demands from the origin servers, thereby reducing their overall load.
Web caching itself consumes FortiGate CPU resources for processing requests and managing the cache, so it does not directly reduce FortiGate CPU usage.
Web caching requires memory to store cached objects, which increases FortiGate memory usage rather than decreasing it.
Serving content from a closer cache minimizes network latency and round-trip times, leading to a faster response and decreased traffic delay for users.
