+Caching the current ``Site`` object
+===================================
+
+**New in Django development version**
+
+As the current site is stored in the database, each call to
+``Site.objects.get_current()`` could result in a database query. But Django is a
+little cleverer than that: on the first request, the current site is cached, and
+any subsequent call returns the cached data instead of hitting the database.
+
+If for any reason you want to force a database query, you can tell Django to
+clear the cache using ``Site.objects.clear_cache()``::
+
+ # First call; current site fetched from database.
+ current_site = Site.objects.get_current()
+ # ...
+
+ # Second call; current site fetched from cache.
+ current_site = Site.objects.get_current()
+ # ...
+
+ # Force a database query for the third call.
+ Site.objects.clear_cache()
+ current_site = Site.objects.get_current()
