Check if a page is caching with curl

Open the terminal and type the following curl command with the desired site/page:

 curl -Ik https://www.uccs.edu

We can see that uccs.edu is caching.

Let’s see an example where a site is not caching

 curl -Ik https://crc.prologisessentials.com/privacy-policy

curl -I:
-I, –head

(HTTP FTP FILE) Fetch the headers only! HTTP-servers feature the command HEAD which this uses to get nothing but the header of a document. When used on an FTP or FILE file, curl displays the file size and last modification time only.

Example:

curl -I https://example.com

See https://curl.se/docs/manpage.html#-I for more information.

Another Curl command:

curl -SLIXGET https://www.mesirow.com
