In which scenario would you want to avoid using caching in Sitefinity?

In scenarios where dynamic data is frequently changing and is influenced by user interaction, caching should typically be avoided. Caching is beneficial for enhancing performance and load times of a website by storing copies of data that don’t change often. However, when it comes to dynamic data, especially information that fluctuates based on user input or other real-time factors, using a cache could result in displaying outdated or incorrect information.

For example, in applications like social media feeds, news aggregators, or any real-time analytics dashboards, presenting users with the most current data is crucial for usability and accurate reporting. Thus, while caching can optimize site performance in many cases, it is not suitable for content that constantly evolves, as it may mislead users or provide a suboptimal experience.

In contrast, static content that doesn't change is ideal for caching since it can significantly reduce server load and improve response times. Content that is rarely viewed may also not benefit from caching, as it could lead to unnecessary resource allocation for rarely accessed data. Lastly, optimizing load times for the site generally would indeed favor caching unless specifically dealing with dynamic content.
