Django Caching and Browser Caching

[yingi keme]

I Have set up cache in my File System and I have used the following code to cache my view

from django.views.decorators.cache import cache_page

@cache_page(60 * 15)

def myView(request):

    #some code

What i want to know is that, How is this caching mechanism different from the automatic caching some browsers provide?

Browsers usually do cache web apps, so what difference will this manual caching configuration make?

Browsers cache images, js and css, but not the actual data that's rendered.  In addition, browser caching only works for repeat visitors to your site.  Using server side caching complements browser side caching but also works for first time visitors.
