# Price Cache

The **Price Cache** allows PriceFetch to temporarily reuse a previously fetched price instead of requesting the external source every time the price is needed.

Caching can:

- Reduce external requests
- Improve page performance
- Reduce bandwidth
- Reduce unnecessary traffic to the source website

The cache duration can be configured in PriceFetch settings either globally or individually for each URL selector.
