Caching

Age

Indicates how long a response has been stored in a cache, in seconds since generation.

Syntax

Age: <seconds>

Example

Age: 3600

Description

Age indicates the time in seconds a response has been in a cache since the origin server generated it. Typically added by CDNs.

Combined with Cache-Control: max-age, clients can calculate remaining freshness lifetime.

Useful for debugging caching. If Age is always 0, the cache may not be working.
