Detecting browser cache by jQuery

Question

Is there a jQuery approach to detect whether a page is loaded from the browser cache OR it has been received from the server by HTTP request?

Answer 1

You could also use Navigation Timing to measure the network latency in great detail.

Here is a good article: http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/webperformance/basics/

If the time difference between fetchStart and responseStart is very low, the page was loaded from cache, for example.
