RSS-Bridge creates a cached version of your contents to reduce the amount of useless traffic. The cached version is created on the first request and served for any subsequent requests. After some time the cached version gets deleted and new content is loaded. The cache duration is bridge specific and can last anywhere between five minutes and 24 hours.
You can specify a custom cache timeout if this option is enabled on the server. See *Customizations* below for more information. RSS-Bridge creates a cached version of your feed in order to reduce traffic and respond faster. The cached version is created on the first request and served for all subsequent requests.
