In computing terminologies ' cache' simply means as a collection of data duplicating original values stored elsewhere or computed earlier. This kind of scheme is done to shorten time of computing. More likely, the function of a cache is to temporary store data which could be then accessed quicker than fetching or recomputing the data.
In web, caches stores previous responses from web servers, like storing web pages, pictures, and other resources so that user would have faster loading time to frequently visited pages and at the same time reduces bandwidth requirements from a web server.
