# Set cache control header

`GET /kitchen-sink/response/cache/{timeToLive}/{cacheResponseDirective}`

- `Cache-control` is an HTTP header used to specify browser caching policies in both client requests and server responses.
    

- Policies include how a resource is cached, where it’s cached and its maximum age before expiring (i.e., time to live)
    

_For example,_

`cache-control: max-age=120` means that the returned resource is valid for **120** seconds, after which the browser has to request a newer version.

- The `public` (cacheResponseDirective) response directive indicates that a resource can be cached by any cache.  
    
- The `private` (cacheResponseDirective) response directive indicates that a resource is user specific - it can still be cached, but only on a client device. For example, a web page response marked as private can be cached by a desktop browser, but not a content delivery network (CDN).
