caching is saving the previous results for quick display on the web page. So if caching exists it displays quick results than the actual results that appear through load.

yes, data caching have a negative effect on load testing results, this can be altered according to the requirments of the scenario in the run-time settings.

There are many types of data caching that may cause a performance test to have misleading results if the test is not designed properly. Examples are browswer cache and DB library cache. A LoadRunner test can be disigned to mitigate the browser cache, but the DB cache requires a proper test design to mitigate.

Yes, caching has a negative impact on your performance test results. Generally cache is temporary memory location. Its stores some of your information. When you visit a page, the time it takes to download the complete response might take longer than the time it takes to download the same page second time. It is because the request some times did not even go to the server to get the response, it checks in cache and grabs it from there. When you are executing a Performance Test, it is always recommended that you turn off Caching during your Performance Testing.
