How so people feel about client side navigation? Browsing svelte.dev it appears back/forward navigation now requires a request each time as browser cache is no longer usable.
Page refresh also seems to reset scroll position but that might be unrelated.
Sveltekit saves your scroll position in session storage so refresh and back/forward navigation feels like regular browser behavior. If your scroll position is resetting on refresh that may be a bug.
Navigating back/forward will only make a new request if that page needs to fetch data in its +page.js component https://kit.svelte.dev/docs/load
This appears to be deliberate depending on the page. Looking at the network inspector as I click around, I see cache-control: private, no-cache on the responses for docs content, but I do see caching on the blog pages.
