What are some effective caching strategies for PWAs?

There are several effective caching strategies for Progressive Web Apps, including Cache First, Network First, and Stale While Revalidate. Would you like to know more about any specific strategy?

Can you explain the Cache First strategy?

Sure! The Cache First strategy prioritizes cached content over network requests. It checks the cache first and serves the cached response if available, falling back to the network if not. This is great for improving load times.

What about the Network First strategy?

The Network First strategy attempts to fetch the latest content from the network first. If the network request fails, it then serves the cached content. This is useful for content that changes frequently.

How do I implement these strategies in my PWA?

You can implement these strategies using service workers. You'll need to set up caching logic in your service worker file to define how and when to cache resources.
