How to create a cache in ArcGIS Server?
Creating an effective map cache requires you to do some careful design and authoring work before you build the cache. This topic describes the process of planning and authoring a map that will be cached. You’ll then publish a map service and specify when the cache should be built. Finally, you’ll test the cache in a client application.
How does feature cache in ArcMap improve performance?
The ArcMap feature cache allows you to temporarily store the features in the current map display in ArcMap to your local machine’s memory. Because retrieving the features from local memory is a fast operation, using the feature cache will often result in performance improvements.
How to create fast map services in ArcGIS?
The best way to create fast map services is to cache them. 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.
How to speed up the performance of ArcMap?
Building a local cache of map data—If you’re working with data stored in a geodatabase or from an ArcIMS feature service, building an ArcMap feature cache can often speed up common mapping tasks. The ArcMap feature cache allows you to temporarily store the features in the current map display in ArcMap to your local machine’s memory.
How to create a map service in ArcGIS?

When do you need to cache a map?
Caching is appropriate for basemaps and maps that don’t change often. 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.
Can You cache more than one data frame at a time?
Only one data frame can be cached at a time. If you need maps from multiple data frames, you must create separate map services and caches for each data frame. Once you create the tiling scheme you cannot modify it. However, you can add or delete scales using the Manage Map Server Cache Scales tool.
What happens when you cache a map in Google Maps?
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.
How to add a layer to an ArcGIS map?
