# Sitecore cache settings

Sitecore caching works on top and extends other caching systems provided by IIS, ASP.NET, database servers, and by the internet infrastructure in general. To see the cache size report, go to `<hostname>/sitecore/admin/cache.aspx` or, on the **Administration** page, in the **Diagnostics and Security** section, click **Cache**.
