# What is Fragment Caching in ASP.NET?

Fragment caching refers to the caching of individual user controls within a Web Form. Each user control can have independent cache durations and implementations of how the caching behavior is to be applied. Fragment caching is useful when you need to cache only a subset of a page. Navigation bars, header, and footers are good candidates for fragment caching.
