Super-Cache is a powerful Chrome extension designed to empower users by allowing them to override default cache policies set by servers. With Super-Cache, you can select a host to apply customized caching behavior, ensuring smoother and faster browsing experiences by caching page requests efficiently.

The extension not only caches content from the selected host but also extends caching to static resources loaded from external domains, synchronizing their cache policies with the primary site. This seamless control over client-side caching helps optimize load times and resource management. Super-Cache is open-source, enabling the community to contribute and improve its functionality.

User reviews

Super-Cache is praised for speeding up browsing, enhancing site performance, and providing useful caching controls for developers. However, users frequently report compatibility issues with modern Chrome versions and a need for updates. Common problems include an invisible extension icon in dark themes, a non-intuitive interface, limited caching options, and crashes during Google searches. Overall, while it offers notable performance benefits, the extension requires improvements for broader usability and stability.

Pros

Significantly speeds up browsing by caching heavy JavaScript and images, resulting in faster page loads.
Helpful for website developers by allowing them to disable caching for real-time edits without turning off caching entirely.
Improves website performance and reduces internet data usage.
Fixes some Chrome bugs related to style updates.
Generally well-liked by users for its intended purpose.

Cons

Compatibility issues with newer versions of Chrome; many users report it only works with older Chromium versions and requires updates.
Extension icon is invisible or missing in dark themes and some Chrome versions, making it hard to access settings.
The interface is not intuitive, lacking simple settings like whitelist/blacklist and status indicators.
Causes crashes during Google searches, leading to "Aw Snap!" errors.
Limited caching options, such as number of cache positions and lack of support for caching AJAX calls or other resource types.

I was expecting caching to allow sites to be opened without internet access But it doesn't, at least not for this site: https://ray.so/.
