cypress-http-cache (v1.1.2) is an in-memory HTTP caching proxy for Cypress end-to-end test suites. It works by intercepting HTTP requests between Cypress and your web application, caching responses to dramatically speed up subsequent test runs, especially when the same assets are loaded across multiple test specs. This plugin is specifically designed to solve the problem of Cypress clearing the browser cache between test files. It is compatible with Cypress 10+ and is released under MIT. Key differentiators: minimal configuration (single function install), configurable cache size and stats reporting, optional diagnostic headers, support for detached mode (background process or remote proxy).
