add cache-control meta tags #180

Closed skb1129 closed 7 years ago

skb1129 commented 7 years ago

I added Cache-Control, Pragma and Expires meta tags that are used to control the browser cache of the webpage.

From the quick research I've done on them, they appear to be primarily supported by Internet Explorer (no mention of Edge, as the published dates of the documentation I found predate Edge).

Do you have any current resources that indicate that these meta tags are recognized beyond Internet Explorer and should not be considered deprecated tags?

Thanks!

I dig some more information and found out that these doesn't work anymore. To control the cache, we must send the request in HTTP header.
