<p>Both <code>Cache-Control: no-cache</code> and <code>Cache-Control: no-store</code> are HTTP response header directives used to control caching behavior, but they serve slightly different purposes:</p>
<hr />
<h3>Cache-Control: no-cache</h3>
<p>This instructs the browser (or any caching intermediary, like a proxy server) to revalidate the cached resource with the server before using it.</p>
<p>It is useful when you want to reduce the load on the server by allowing caching but ensuring that cached data is still valid.</p>
<hr />
<h3>Cache-Control: no-store</h3>
<p>This instructs the browser (or any caching intermediary) not to store the cached resource at all meaning it must always request the resource from the server, even if the user navigates back to a previous page.</p>
<p>It is more suitable for sensitive data or content that should never be cached, such as login pages or personal information.</p>
<hr />
<p>In practice, you might also see both headers used together to achieve a stronger caching restriction. This combination ensures that the resource won't be stored in the cache, and the browser always checks with the server for the latest version.</p>
