+# Change the expiration interval for application cache **(FREE SELF)**
 
-Application settings are cached for 60 seconds by default which should work
-for most installations. A higher value would mean a greater delay between
-changing an application setting and noticing that change come into effect.
-A value of `0` would result in the `application_settings` table being
-loaded for every request causing extra load on Redis and/or PostgreSQL.
-It is therefore recommended to keep the value above zero.
+By default, GitLab caches application settings for 60 seconds. Occasionally,
+you may need to increase that interval to have more delay between application
+setting changes and when users notice those changes in the application.
 
-## Change the application settings cache expiry
+We recommend you set this value to greater than `0` seconds. Setting it to `0`
+causes the `application_settings` table to load for every request. This causes
+extra load for Redis and PostgreSQL.
