1. Modify the **Default Cache Time**.

When [Pantheon Advanced Page Cache](https://wordpress.org/plugins/pantheon-advanced-page-cache) is active, your site content should always be fresh and served quickly from Pantheon's Edge Cache. This is why we recommend caching content for a minimum of 1 week. Every page served from the Edge Cache won't hit your application container's PHP workers or MySQL database, which means faster page load times and a better user experience for site visitors.

Since the 2.0 version of Pantheon Advanced Page Cache, the input type for the Page Cache Max Age setting has been changed to a dropdown with the values 1 week, 1 month and 1 year. This setting can be overridden using the `pantheon_cache_default_max_age` filter as described below.

1. Click **Save Changes**.

We strongly recommend using the [Pantheon Advanced Page Cache](https://wordpress.org/plugins/pantheon-advanced-page-cache) plugin to ensure that your site content is always fresh and served quickly from Pantheon's Edge Cache. When Pantheon Advanced Page Cache is active, the Pantheon Page Cache admin page will look like the screenshot below. If the PAPC plugin is not active, the Page Cache Max Age setting will be a text input.
