What are some effective caching strategies in SvelteKit?

In SvelteKit, effective caching strategies include using HTTP caching headers, leveraging service workers, and implementing client-side caching with stores.

Can you explain how to use HTTP caching headers?

Sure! You can set HTTP caching headers in your SvelteKit endpoints to control how responses are cached by browsers and proxies. For example, you can use the Cache-Control header to specify the max age of the cache.

What about service workers? How do they fit into caching?

Service workers act as a proxy between your web app and the network. They can intercept network requests and serve cached responses, allowing for offline capabilities and faster load times.

Are there any best practices for client-side caching?

Yes, best practices include using Svelte stores to manage state, ensuring data is fresh by implementing cache invalidation strategies, and keeping the cache size manageable.
