Do the webview in flutter cached web page?

I want to cache the web page I display in flutter webview so to improve my performance, no need to reload the page. Is that available? and can I implement it?

flutter_inappwebview(former flutter_inappbrowser)
Has parameter cacheEnabled. Default value is true.
cacheEnabled sets whether the WebView should use browser caching

flutter_webview_plugin community version
Has parameter appCacheEnabled to enable cache

WebviewScaffold(
    key: _scaffoldKey,
    url: widget.url,
    clearCache: true,
    appCacheEnabled: true,      
);

webview_flutter official version
Do not provide parameter , you can check with Android Source code https://github.com/flutter/plugins/blob/master/packages/webview_flutter/android/src/main/java/io/flutter/plugins/webviewflutter/FlutterWebView.java

Default cache mode depend on iOS WKWebView and Android WebView
Default cache mode of Android WebView is LOAD_DEFAULT https://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebSettings#LOAD_DEFAULT
Default cache usage mode. If the navigation type doesn't impose any specific behavior, use cached resources when they are available and not expired, otherwise load resources from the network.
