> It appears the screencast video is to blame, it is not only huge (~70MB), but it keeps getting downloaded instead of just replaying. Question, do you have caching disabled when devtools is open? If so that'll cause it to continually re-download. Looking at the markup it shouldn't redownload but devtools will make that happen quite easily. Completely agreed about the size though; geeze.

Devtool doesn't impact caching.

  Unless, of course, you have the "Disable cache" checkbox enabled.

  It does when you click "Disable cache" (and maybe forget to turn it off). But it doesn't appear to affect this, at least.

  Why do you post about things you obviously have no clue about? Any web developer knows that you use DevTools to disable caching.

    Why do you reply about things you obviously have no clue about? DevTools on Firefox doesn't disable caching. DevTools on Chrome doesn't disable caching. There is a button to disable cache that's off by default.

      > DevTools on Chrome doesn't disable caching. There is a button to disable cache that's off by default. I simply asked the poster if they had caching disabled when they had devtools opened as I ran into this exact issue before. Why does the default matter if I asked them if they had it enabled? I don't really understand what you're trying to get at with your series of replies.
