Static Caching or Pre-Caching

Learn pre-caching and how to implement it in a progressive web app.

Pre-caching

In pre-caching, we cache static assets during the service worker’s install event to serve them during the fetch event. After pre-caching, our app loads even if the user is offline because we don’t make network requests. All the static assets are stored in the cache.

Now, let’s practice what we should store in our static cache. Consider the following HTML file as the index.html file for a web app and think about what should be in the static cache.
