Before we already created the app such that it can store the dynamic cache. However, as the web page has many pages and users have more and more pages, this will become a lot of cache's. To prevent this, we need to reduce the size of the cache.
Here, we turn to our service worker. In here, we are going to create a function to limit the number of cache. We use constlimitCache, then we pass the cache name. Also, we usecache.openand copy the code from the static cache.
Instead of opening the static cache, we open the cache name. Then instead ofaddorput, we usecache.put. This returns the keys. We are going to check the number of cache. If the keys are length is greater than the num, then we are going to delete the cache. Since we are going to delete the first cache or the orders cache, we use the key 0.
However, sometimes there may be more than one cache. To handle this, we usesetIntervaland pass the function to itself. This allows us to continuously check and limit the number of caches if needed.
Now that we have created this function, we can apply it to our dynamic cache before we turn it. We uselimitNumberOfCacheand pass the dynamic cache name, for example, 'homepage'.
In the end, you will be able to see a significant improvement in app performance as less cache is being stored.
