How do no-cache and no-store differ?
Short interview answer
no-cache permits storage but requires successful revalidation before reuse. no-store asks caches not to store the response. Sensitive responses may need no-store, while frequently changing HTML often benefits from no-cache plus validators.
Key takeaway
Explain the underlying mental model clearly, then support it with a concrete example and its trade-offs.
