HTTP Cache Debugging Tools
Practical tools and commands for inspecting HTTP cache headers and debugging Drupal caching behavior.
When to Use
- Inspecting cache response headers (X-Drupal-Cache, Cache-Control, etc.)
- Verifying cache hit/miss status
- Debugging why pages aren't caching
- Testing authenticated vs anonymous caching
- Analyzing Vary headers and cache variations

drupal-cache-debugging
Drupal cache debugging techniques and troubleshooting workflows. Use when asked about X-Drupal-Cache headers interpretation, finding max-age 0 sources, WebProfiler usage, cache hit/miss analysis, stale content debugging, or performance profiling cache-related issues.
21drupal-cache-contexts
Drupal cache contexts implementation guide. Use when asked about request-based cache variations, user.roles vs user context, URL contexts, language contexts, custom cache contexts, or cache context hierarchy. Helps prevent cache explosion from overly broad contexts.
21drupal-cache-tags
Drupal cache tags implementation guide. Use when asked about cache tag naming conventions, entity tags, list tags, custom tags, tag invalidation strategies, or debugging tag-based cache invalidation issues. Covers node:ID, config:name, entity_list patterns.
19drupal-lazy-builders
Drupal lazy builders and placeholder implementation. Use when asked about #lazy_builder render array property, TrustedCallbackInterface, auto-placeholdering, BigPipe integration, personalized content caching, or how to make user-specific content cacheable.
18drupal-cache-maxage
Drupal cache max-age configuration and behavior. Use when asked about time-based cache expiration, Cache::PERMANENT, max-age 0 issues, why Page Cache ignores max-age, or when content appears stale despite time expiration. Critical for understanding caching layer differences.
17drupal-dynamic-cache
Dynamic Page Cache and BigPipe module behavior in Drupal. Use when asked about authenticated user caching, auto-placeholdering, lazy builders, BigPipe streaming, X-Drupal-Dynamic-Cache header, or why content shows UNCACHEABLE status. Covers interaction between caching layers.
