# Cache Lifespan Setting

 * The guidance for Cache lifespan says “Time after which a new cached version will
   be generated (0 = only when the cache is emptied)”.
 * Does that mean (a) each individual cached page will be automatically regenerated
   after that period, (b) each individual cached page will be deleted after that
   period (so it can be regenerated when visited), or (c) the entire cache will 
   be deleted after that period (so its pages can be regenerated when visited)?
 * Thanks.
