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

The following article should answer your question:

Detecting when a page is loaded from the browser cache.

The concept of the above article is that at every request you set the cookie from the server side and check the cookie using JavaScript (or jQuery). if the cookie matches that of the previously requested page, then it is a cached page. If it doesn't, it is a fresh page.

Hope that helps.
