The Cache Performance dashboard lets you see at a glance the value of the response cache.
The dashboard helps you visualize the benefit of the response cache in terms of lower latency and reduced
load backend servers.
The Cache Performance dashboard
To access the Cache Performance dashboard:
In the Google Cloud console, go to the Analytics > API metrics > Cache Performance page.

This is because with a small number of data points, there can be a difference in the number of data points being compared to create the ratios. This inconsistency will resolve itself within a few minutes as it collects more data points. If the performance ratios still appear incorrect, refresh the page."]]
