caching - How chrome browser determine memory cache and disk cache?

Question

I knew that chrome supports from memory cache and from disk cache when I request resources. I didn't see from memory cache before. BTW how chrome determine which resource should be cached in memory?

question from:https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45497696/how-chrome-browser-determine-memory-cache-and-disk-cache

Answer 1

Using this document, the Caching section in particular, I understand that there are two caches, an on-disk cache and a very fast in-memory cache.

As for your actual question, how does Chrome decide what gets cached where, I believe the next line provides the answer

The lifetime of an in-memory cache is attached to the lifetime of a render process, which roughly corresponds to a tab

While I am not entirely sure, I believe the in memory cache serves the current tab.
