How do I cache a map service?
To make a cache, you first need to design the map and share it as a service. Then, you’ll set cache properties and begin creating tiles. You can choose to create all the tiles at once or allow some of the tiles to be created on demand, in other words, when someone first visits them.
What is ArcMap cache?
The display cache is a local disk cache on your computer that stores data for basemap layers, tiled images from cached map services from ArcGIS for Server, tiled images from other Internet map services, and the ArcGIS globe cache.
What is a cached map service?
When you cache a map service, the server draws the map at a set of scale levels that you define and saves the images. When the server receives a request for a map, it’s much quicker to return one of these cached images than to draw the map again. Caching is appropriate for basemaps and maps that don’t change often.
What is tiling cache?
Tile caching is a great way to help with map rendering speed. Instead of having to draw the map from scratch map images that has been previously rendered are stored and displayed upon request. Map Suite has many different tile caching options for your specific application needs.
Can I delete tile cache?

What happens when you cache a map in ArcGIS?
When you cache a map, the server draws it at a set of scales that you select. Once the map is drawn, you can’t change the way it looks unless you re-create or update the cache. This means two important things: The map needs to look good at each scale level before you cache it.
How often should I update my Map cache?
For maps that change only occasionally, tools are available to update the cache. To achieve optimal performance, you should cache as many layers as you can. You may find it helpful to make two maps and separate the layers that are appropriate for caching from layers that would not be feasible to cache.
What can you do with a basemap layer?
The basemap layers pan continuously and relatively smoothly while you are panning the map. The rest of the map layers are redrawn once you release the wheel button. When your map contains a basemap layer, the standard tools can be used for panning, zooming, and interacting with the map.
