Model cache plan controls

One asset per line as "path | strategy | revision", for example "/app.css | cache-first | build-9". Paths are case-sensitive and limited to 160 characters; up to 30 assets. Strategies: cache-first, network-first, stale-while-revalidate, network-only, cache-only, revalidate.

A label for the newer deployment to model. Leave blank to skip the update scenarios.

When an asset names the cache-only strategy, models using it as the offline fallback for failed navigations.

How to use PWA Cache Scenario Planner

  1. List paths, strategy names and stored revision labels in the shown format.
  2. Enter the modeled newer revision and decide whether to include the declared fallback.
  3. Review unavailable and stale scenarios before exporting the plan.

Example: PWA Cache Scenario Planner

Model entered asset revisions and cache strategies across declared online, offline and update scenarios.

You add
Assets and strategies: "/ | network-first | build-1\n/app.css | stale-while-revalidate | build-1\n/app.js | network-first | build-1\n/logo.png | cache-first | build-1\n/offline.html | cache-only | build-1" Revision available on the server: "build-2" Model an offline fallback document: true
You get
Modelled 5 assets across 6 scenarios; 5 combinations unavailable offline.

Options

Strategy
The model follows the printed strategy definitions. cache-first and network-first deliberately differ when an old copy exists.
Fallback document
The optional cache-only document is a modeled navigation fallback. No fallback or service worker is installed.

Supported inputs and limits

Up to 30 assets, 160-character paths and the supported declared strategy set. Offline declarative model only; no service-worker registration, cache write, asset fetch or live offline guarantee.

A scenario plan needs a real implementation test

Revision labels describe your entered inventory, not verified browser cache contents. The model makes missing copies and stale revisions visible under its assumptions. Test a real service worker’s lifecycle, request matching and offline behavior separately before promising those outcomes to visitors.

Questions about PWA Cache Scenario Planner

Will it create a service worker?

It exports a plan without registering one.

Does an offline fallback always appear?

Only the declared fallback scenario is modeled; real behavior needs implementation and testing.

Are revision labels content hashes?

They are entered labels, not calculated asset hashes.
