# Page configuration {#page-configuration}

By default all pages are marked to be cached. The same logic TYPO3 follows to
create page cache is used to create static pages. So you should not have to
touch the checkbox in the page properties.

If you want to make it very explicit that you don't want a page to be cached,
uncheck the 'Cache page as static file' checkbox in the page properties of that
page. You want to do this if your page uses 'timing' features or typoscript
conditions that do not work properly when caching to static files.

Please keep in mind, that you have to use a smart internal
[caching strategy](https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-typoscript/13.4/en-us/TopLevelObjects/Config.html#setup-config-cache) to fit all situations incl.
