I wonder why the article doesn't mention utilizing the browser cache for your static CSS and JS assets instead of introducing a service worker as first measure.

Few years ago I built a shopping site MPA this way and the page transitions were almost not noticable.

I was just wondering the same. Browser cache is is old and effective, but unfortunately nobody cares nowadays.

People care when the browser cache is holding on to something - "try clearing your cache" is still a very common tech support solution.
