Hi,

in the host and deploy guide for netlify is something about cache and I am not quiet sure if the cache settings have to be in hugo.toml or netlify.toml?

Here is the guide: [https://gohugo.io/host-and-deploy/host-on-netlify/#step-2](https://gohugo.io/host-and-deploy/host-on-netlify/#step-2)

`[caches]`  
`[caches.images]`  
`dir = ':cacheDir/images'`

Thanks 🙂

it’s your `hugo.toml` indicated by _project configuration_ and the link to Hugos caching configuration

When you look above the code block, you see `hugo.` then toggles for `yaml toml json`. That tells you the code goes in Hugo configuration file.
