Reload browser page (and resources) entirely from cache

1

I'm currently working remote on a specific web project. Their VPN connection is quite unreliable, so it can be difficult to refresh a page because the database lies on one of their local machines.

At times, it's best to watch the execution of a page's JavaScript multiple times in a row. This can be incredibly time consuming and difficult on a slow connection.

Is it possible to refresh a page almost entirely from the browser's cache? (i.e. without making a request to the server again?) Basically, I'd like to replay the page load. The only way I know how to do this is if there is a way to pull all the resources from cache and reloading the page from that.

Is this possible?

This probably involves more recoding than you'd be willing to go through with, and is more of a programming-related solution, but offline manifests might be one possible solution, if you can gather all the necessary filenames into one file. http://diveintohtml5.info/offline.html
