1. Which of the following is not the benefit of cache application?

b) reduction of server load
c) speed
d) asynchronous
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Application cache can be helpful in so many ways like we can browse offline, as the cached resources are at local level hence they load at faster speed, it also reduces the load of the server. Asynchronous is one of the problems with the use of application cache due to this the resources which are not required like JavaScript or images will also be downloaded.

2. Which line is mandatory in cache manifest file?

View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: For offline access, there is a text file named cache manifest. It lists the resources of the browser. For enabling application cache for any app we must include manifest attribute inside an html tag of the document like <html manifest=”text.appcache”> this manifest should be included on every page that we want cached.

3. Which is not the section of manifest?

c) fallback
d) cache status
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: If the files are not in cache they come from a list of the files in the network. Cache is the default section. The files those are listed under this header are explicitly cached after downloading for the first time. If the resource is inaccessible then this section will be in use. There is no any rule to list these section, can be listed in any order.

View Answer

Resources are explicitly listed in the application’s cache manifest file by the explicit entry. Fallback entry provides fallback entries in the application’s manifest file. Master entries are the resources added to the cache. Network entry executes and load scripts and code from the server, not from the cache. Syntax is
