The Cache browser module allows developers to inspect and analyze the Drupal cache bins and individual cache entries.

This can be an invaluable tool for analyzing cache behaviours and performance.

Designed for Drupal 10.

The browser is found in the admin reports section at the URL: /admin/reports/cache

Security guidance

The contents of Drupal caches are very likely to contain sensitive information, personal identifiable information, and information which help an attacker in compromising a site.

  1. Avoid adding this module to a production site.
    Use composer require --dev to add this module as a developer dependency instead of a production dependency.
  2. Only grant the Access cache browser permission to trusted users.
    Treat this permission as equivalent to granting access to user 1.

Supported cache backends

  • ApcuBackend
  • BackendChain
  • ChainedFastBackend
  • DatabaseBackend
  • MemoryBackend

Support for other cache backends can be added using the Drupal Plugin API.
