A storage area used by a server or proxy to store data
resources that have been retrieved or created in response to a
request. When a new request for a "cached" data resource is
received, the server or proxy can respond with the cached version
instead of retrieving or creating a new copy.

From Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1 (1999-06-15) | Glossary for this source
A program's local store of response messages and the subsystem that controls its message storage, retrieval, and deletion. A cache stores cacheable responses in order to reduce the response time and network bandwidth consumption on future, equivalent requests. Any client or server may include a cache, though a cache cannot be used by a server that is acting as a tunnel.A response is cacheable if a cache is allowed to store a copy of the response message for use in answering subsequent requests. The rules for determining the cacheability of HTTP responses are defined in section 13. Even if a resource is cacheable, there may be additional constraints on whether a cache can use the cached copy for a particular request.
