| Cache hits by app | Sum of calls hitting the cache broken down by developer app. |
| Average time with cache | The average amount of time for an API call when it hits the cache. |
| Average time without cache | The average amount of time for an API call when it does not hit the cache. |
| Cache improvement | Compares the average time with cache and average time without cache, giving you an idea of the overall effect of the cache on API performance. |
What else do I need to know about this dashboard?

This dashboard uses standard controls, like the date and data aggregation selectors, hovering over graphs for more context, exporting data to CSV, and so on. To learn more, see Using the analytics dashboards.
