How would you suggest to use it when the browser does not have a good (or not at all) WiFi connection to the server? That is, the user may need to open page Page1.aspx, then Page2.aspx, and so on, jumping from one to another. (I have an idea/scope of what to do with the data from another thread). But what about the pages? Do they have to be stored in the local storage too?

My target browser is Safari (iOs) so application cache is the only (known) option. Thank you.
