Yes, but still no notion if it was really just that "Universal Credit *start page*" [1] load measured or if it was some more realistic scenario, like, you know, navigating to some page that this guidepost links to. Loading just the start guidepost does not make much sense from the user's perspective.
Again, I really do not want to attack their conclusions, I'm just curious how much (if at all (!)) would browser cache be beneficial here.
(I'm not even sure browser generally caches once parsed chunks, but I assume they probably do.)
