Not clearly true. try this: Open SeaMonkey & click on tools / web development / toggle tools select the network tab + the All tab below that visit http://blog.patrickmeenan.com/2011/10/testing-for-frontend-spof.html see what gets loaded & look at # requests, data xfer size & time on the all/html/css/etc. tab visit http://fasterdata.es.net/science-dmz/DTN/tuning/ see what gets loaded & how long it takes click on the back button see what gets loaded & how long it takes click on the forward button see what gets loaded & how long it takes WTF!? click on the GET /science-dmz/DTN/tuning line & notice the response header of Cache-Control:"no-cache, no-store, max-age=0, must-revalidate, no-transform" paste "http://blog.patrickmeenan.com/2011/10/testing-for-frontend-spof.html"; into the URL bar see what gets loaded & how long it takes I understand that "little benefit" can mean different things to different people, so type "about:cache" into the url bar in the disk section, click on list cache entries how many entries have a fetch count > 1 ? does that meet your definition of "little benefit"? I tried visiting reddit & opened 4 threads in new tabs, so there was no forward/back button clicking & no page reloads about:cache?storage=disk&context= shows https://e.thumbs.redditmedia.com/pF525auqxnTG-FFj.png 500977 byte s 5 2017-07-10 16:11:25 2037-10-24 17:32:41 downloading 500KB instead of 2.5MB is not my definition of "little benefit" Lee _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
