Service Worker itself does not provide storage functionality, but it is often used in conjunction with the browser's Cache API to cache application resources. The cache capacity for Service Worker is not enforced by the Service Worker API itself, but rather depends on the browser's implementation and the available storage space on the user's device.
Each browser may have different storage limit policies, and these policies may change over time. Most modern browsers use heuristic methods to dynamically manage storage quotas per origin. Typically, browsers allow storage usage per origin to range from tens to hundreds of megabytes, depending on the total available storage space on the user's device.
For example, Chrome provides a dynamic quota for storage per origin, which is typically based on a portion of the available disk space per origin. This portion may range from 2-5% of the total disk space, but this percentage is not fixed and may vary depending on different devices and users' storage usage.
To illustrate, assume the available storage space on the user's device is 100GB. Chrome may allocate 2GB as the maximum storage quota for a single origin. However, remember that this quota is dynamically calculated, and the user's storage usage and browser policies affect this value.
In summary, the cache size limit for Service Worker is not fixed; it is influenced by various factors including browser implementation, device storage capacity, and storage usage of other sites. Developers can check available storage using the browser's Quota Management API and manage caching strategies accordingly.
