Django caching with cache_page and cache decorator

I use Django's cache framework to avoid expensive queries and computations. The cache_page decorator caches entire view responses by URL. For more control, I use the low-level cache API to store query results or computed values. I set reasonable timeouts and use cache versioning to invalidate related keys. For view fragments, I use template caching. Redis is my preferred backend for production due to speed and data structures. I'm careful with cache keys to avoid collisions and consider query parameters when caching. Cache warming can preload frequently-accessed data.
