Pagination Re-downloading All Images on Page Each Trigger

Describe the bug

I’m using Sprig for pagination, using the Pagination Recipe from the Cookbook, and outside of the component, in the template the component is included in, there are a few images, and with the Network tab open in dev tools I noticed that every time I click through the pagination the browser re-downloads all of the images from the template (again, outside of the component) — images it downloaded on initial page load. It seems like this should definitely be avoided. Other assets like CSS and JS files are not being re-downloaded. After testing around a bit I realized that if I remove the s-push-url attribute from the buttons that updates the URL then the browser doesn’t download all of the images outside of the component, just the images inside the component. This still seems less than ideal, but is there any way around it?

To reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Create a component template and paste in the example component code exactly from the pagination recipe.
2. Include that component in a template, and make sure {{ sprig.script }} is included somewhere in the template.
3. Make sure there is an image or two included somewhere else on the page.
4. Navigate to the page with the pagination component and pull up the Network tab in Dev Tools to monitor images downloaded.
5. Click through the pagination and note that all of the other images on the page downloaded on initial page load are re-downloaded every time you trigger a refresh of the component by clicking through the pagination.

Expected behaviour

I would expect that images outside of the component would not need to be re-downloaded. It would be great if images included in the component were also not re-downloaded when the pagination landed on a page previously loaded as well, but that I would understand.

Ok, well if it comes up again then let me know.

@bencroker oh man, I think this is a false alarm actually. Since you mentioned that it was not happening for the example on the cookbook I took a look and for me it actually was happening (screen recording), and then it occurred to me to try it out on other browsers, which I should have done to begin with. I was experiencing the issue in Brave, but then tested it in Safari, Firefox and Chrome (Canary) and none of those browsers were re-downloading the images, so it seems it’s either a Brave AJAX issue or maybe an htmx + Brave issue. Either way, not here, but I appreciate you looking into it!
