Are static assets cached between requests?

[colinmollenhour]

I don't really know how Puppeteer works or how this wrapper manages it so maybe it is a simple answer. If I have multiple requests which need to load static assets (e.g. images, scripts) and assuming those are cacheable will they be cached or will they be fetched fresh for each request?

Hi,

I have not checked the detailed behavior, it may be cacheable will they be cached, per Puppeteer's Page.

Because Puppeteer's Page has setCacheEnabled() method defaults to true.

https://pptr.dev/api/puppeteer.page.setcacheenabled

Note that hc-pdf-server uses multiple Pages by default.

If you want to Page.setCacheEnabled() to false, I will consider adding the feature to switch in env.

Thanks for the info! Caching enabled is actually the behavior I want so no need to add an option for it on my behalf.
