Optimize page loading time via caching

lcharette · Copilot · lcharette · commit 3de6c1b65a4f · 2026-05-13T21:49:47.000-04:00
- Cache getBreadcrumbsForPage() results under 'breadcrumbs' cache key (~175x faster on repeated calls)
- Cache getFlattenedTree() results under 'flat-tree' cache key (~64x faster; called twice per page load for prev/next navigation)
- Add HTTP Cache-Control header to page responses when server-side caching is enabled, allowing browsers and CDNs to cache rendered pages
- Add getHttpCacheMaxAge() to DocumentationRepository to expose the configured TTL for HTTP caching
- Add tests for all new caching behaviours and the Cache-Control header
