How to active caching on Express - Node.js?
You should only enable caching in production:
app.configure('production', function(){ var oneYear = 31557600000; app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public', { maxAge: oneYear })); app.use(express.errorHandler());});Furthermore you are probably better of using CDN or Nginx to host static files. A lot of CDN's aren't that expensive and I even found this free CDN at http://www.coralcdn.org/ thanks to stackoverflow.com. According to this blog post Nginx even has memcached to make your site extremely fast
