+If your `index.html` is static, you may want to consider adding a `Cache-Control` header to instruct clients to cache it. Since the `try_files` rewrite is used to serve it from other paths, you can wrap the `try_files` with a `route` so that the `header` handler runs after the rewrite (it normally would run before due to the [directive order](/docs/caddyfile/directives#directive-order)):
+
+```caddy-d
+route {
+	try_files {path} /index.html
+	header /index.html Cache-Control "public, max-age=0, must-revalidate"
+}
+```
