OutputCache an ActionResult that only returns a View

Question

Would it make sense to [OutputCache] something like this?

[HttpGet]
public ActionResult About()
{
    return this.View("About");
}

Answer 1

It depends on what is in the View. For example if it a heavier view and the output is same for all the users then yes you should use the [OutputCache] filter. This will reduce the timing on the server side for:

• View relocation
• View parsing

When you use the [OutputCache] filter consider setting the parameters properly. i.e. cache duration and others as needed.
