If your kiosk regularly synchronizes data with a remote server then you may have the opportunity to dramatically improve your kiosks performance by making use of your kiosks local storage. By caching data locally it allows your kiosk to respond more quickly to user input by reducing the amount of time your kiosk spends waiting on a response from the server.
In the second part of this 2-part series I’ll cover a couple cool options for persistent local storage in the web browser. In part one I covered the benefits of caching data locally on your kiosk, the sort of data you’ll want to cache and some helpful tips for caching.
The three main advantages of caching data locally on your kiosk
- Increases the responsiveness of your kiosk
- Reduces the load on your server
- Lowers bandwidth requirements
