Browsers are caching assets by default. But this approach is not reliable because you cannot control when browser caches something. Sometimes caching works, sometimes it doesn't.

Much more reliable approach is to use service workers. With them you have complete control of what you cache. You can even cache entire pages and provide offline support with this technology.

Here is a pretty good article about service workers from google: https://developers.google.com/web/ilt/pwa/caching-files-with-service-worker
