Abstract: Techniques for network resource caching are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may comprise a client proxy component and a resource component. The client proxy component may receive a request for a data item and transmit a delta update to the client device in response to the request. The resource component may determine that the cached resource hash corresponds to the older version of the data item and determine the current version of the data item. In another embodiment, an apparatus may comprise a prediction component and a cache management component. The prediction component may predict a user interest in receiving a data item on a device. The cache management component may retrieve the data item from a network server in response to the predicted user interest and cache the data item on the device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
