Current state

Many answers exist for

1. Refresh page cache but not the javascript-issued requests' cache
2. Issue cache: false ajax request
3. Set Expires header at server-side

Goal state

However, is there a way to do either of the following at client-side?

1. Refresh the page without (page cache AND requests cache); in fact, the CMD+SHIFT+R reload achieves this purpose on Edge(Mac OS)
2. Make an ajax request not only retrieve new data(by new timestamp) but also use this data to overwrite the original request cache.

Example: after page /names loads, Javascript GET /api/names?id=<id>; ajax method would GET /api/names?id=<id>&_=<timestamp>, but this does not refresh cache for/api/names

Purpose

Use cache to increase load speed, while also preserving users' flexibility to retrieve updated data.
