It is not possible to prevent your site from being cached completely. There are ways to write into the site that the page needs to be re-checked or refreshed every time the page is requested, overriding the regular refresh algorithm. In the real world though, there are very good reasons why you would want your page to be cached. Remember to most customers, speed is everything and web surfers won't wait for slow sites to load, they just go somewhere else. This behaviour is possibly magnified when the person is on the end of a high-speed connection. The only way to accommodate the demand is caching to improve the user experience.
