Using the AppCache

Application cache (AppCache) speeds up app response time and reduces server load by only downloading resources that have changed. It improves page loads affected by limited browser cache persistence on some devices.

AppCache can be useful if you're developing apps for mobile devices, which sometimes have very limited browser cache. Apps built for desktop clients may not benefit from the AppCache. The framework supports AppCache for WebKit-based browsers, such as Chrome and Safari.

See an introduction to AppCache for more information.
