I am new to magento 2.x and was wondering to see that Magento 2.x has 2 folders for cache:
- /var/cache folder
- /var/page_cache folder
My question is that why there are 2 different folders?
Also what are differences among /var/view_preprocessed
, /var/generation
and /pub/static
folders?
Please can anyone explain the differences and use of above folders?
Thanks in advance

/var/cache
: Magento cache (config, blocks, etc...)/var/page_cache
: Magento full page cache (aka FPC)/var/generation
or/generated
: Auto generated Magento code (Interceptors, etc...)/var/view_preprocessed
: Static contents before processing (like CSS and processed LESS files)/pub/static
: Public static files (like JS, CSS, HTML, etc...)
