Configure the Portlet Cache

Portal Services caches HTML markup fragments that are used to quickly regenerate recent views of portlet pages. These markup fragments are compressed and stored in the user's session object. You can configure the number of pages stored for each user's portlet.

The size of the markup fragment for each page depends on the complexity of the portlet, but they are typically about 5KB. By default, the cache stores ten pages for each user's portlet.
