- Stale While Revalidate: The stale-while-revalidate pattern allows you to respond the request as quickly as possible with a cached response if available, falling back to the network request if it’s not cached. The network request is then used to update the cache.
Stale While Revalidate
- Network First: By default, it will try and fetch the latest request from the network. If the request is successful, it’ll put the response in the cache. If the network fails to return a response, the cached response will be used.
Network First
- Cache First: Cache First strategy is to check the cache before going to the network. This is great for caching on the fly and optimizing for repetitive asset requests since it only hits the network on ‘fresh’ assets.
Cache First
- Network Only: I find this strategy to be the ‘norm’ for most applications today. This is exactly how it sounds, network requests only with no cache. This is for assets where any cached version is unacceptable or too risky.
