I want to use nginx caching for my website, and I came up with this configuration:

proxy_cache_key         $scheme://$host$uri$is_args$query_string;
proxy_cache_valid       200 5s;
proxy_cache_valid       404 30s;
proxy_cache_revalidate on;

proxy_cache_background_update   on;
proxy_cache_use_stale updating;

now i have couple of questions:

does this mean that every 5 seconds a subrequest by nginx will update the expired data? (im assuming not because its keep giving me STALE in cache status when i open a page)

with this configuration im trying to make nginx to update the data every 5 seconds and the users only see the cached data. but i think the stale part means that the data is from previous cache.

This question currently includes multiple questions in one. It should focus on one problem only.

@RomeoNinov but I think they are related to the same thing which is nginx proxy caching

Yes, but the rule on SE is one question, one or more answers. If you want you can create several questions for different elements/details.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
