SharePoint – Enable BLOB Cache with PowerShell

Disk-based caching controls caching for binary large objects (BLOBs) such as image, sound, and video files, as well as code fragments. Disk-based caching is extremely fast and eliminates the need for database round trips. BLOBs are retrieved from the database once and stored on the Web client. Further requests are served from the cache and trimmed based on security.

Disk-based caching is disabled by default. To enable and customize the disk-based cache, you can run the following script.
