Quick Answer
AJAX caching in jQuery: $.ajax has cache: true (default for GET) - browser caches the response. Set cache: false to add a cache-busting timestamp to the URL. For manual caching, store results in a JavaScript object and check before making the request. Combine with ifModified: true to skip re-processing if the server returns 304 Not Modified.
Answer
Disable caching with $.ajax({ cache: false }). Store responses in .data() or localStorage. Ensures reliable and optimized AJAX performance.
