Configuring applications

Adjusting image caching

You can choose the amount of time that your GitHub Enterprise Server instance caches avatars. When you increase the cache time, you increase the amount of time a user's avatar will take to load. Configuring the cache time with too low a value can overload your GitHub Enterprise Server instance work processes.

4. Under "Avatar image cache time (seconds)", type the number of seconds that you would like your GitHub Enterprise Server instance to cache avatar images.
