We can create a cache profile in the web.config file and it is an alternative to configuring output cache properties by modifying properties of the [OutputCache] attribute. It also offers a couple of important advantages which are as follows.

It Controls how controller actions cache content in one central location.
It creates one cache profile and applies the profile to several controllers or controller actions.
It modifies the web configuration file without recompiling your application.
It disables caching for the application that has already been deployed to production.

First, take a look at a simple example of a cache profile by creating the cache profile on web.config file. These <caching> section must appear within the <system.web> section.

<caching>

   <outputCacheSettings>

      <outputCacheProfiles>

         <add name = "Cache10Min" duration = "600" varyByParam = "none"/>

      </outputCacheProfiles>

   </outputCacheSettings>

</caching>

We can apply the Cache10Min profile to a controller action with the [OutputCache] attribute which is as follows.

[OutputCache(CacheProfile = "Cache10Min")]


public ActionResult Index(){ 
   var employees = from e in db.Employees

   orderby e.ID

   select e;

   return View(employees);

}

Run the application and specify the following URL http://localhost:63004/employee

If we invoke the Index() action as shown above then the same time will be returned for 10 Min.
