Is using an app less load on the server than through a browser? - eviltoast

I would assume it is, since the server only needs to serve the API calls and not the whole web site code?

If so, getting people to use the apps could help with the current wave of users a little.

    Possibly? No idea how much of the data is from service worker cache. Also I’m not sure whether clearing the cache really skips service worker’s cache, my gut feeling would be that it’s purged as well.
