How can PHP developers optimize caching and reduce redundant file loading when using RewriteRule for clean URLs?

To optimize caching and reduce redundant file loading when using RewriteRule for clean URLs, PHP developers can implement caching mechanisms such as storing processed files in memory or using a caching system like Redis or Memcached. Additionally, developers can utilize techniques like lazy loading to only load necessary files when they are needed, reducing the overall load on the server. 

// Example code snippet for implementing caching and lazy loading in PHP

// Check if the file is already cached
if (apcu_exists($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])) {
    // Load the cached file
    include apcu_fetch($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
} else {
    // Process the file and store it in cache
    ob_start();
    // Code to process and output the file content
    $fileContent = ob_get_clean();
    
    // Cache the processed file
    apcu_store($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], $fileContent);
    
    // Output the processed file
    echo $fileContent;
}
