Answer 1

You need to configure your server to tell the client to cache that file. All the files with 'cache' in their filename should be configured that way.

This article pretty much describes all the tricks you can use to reduce your application download times. Covers caching, compressing, imagebundling amongst others.

The GWT documentation includes example cache settings for .htaccess on Apache.

<Files *.nocache.*>
  ExpiresDefault "access"
</Files>

<Files *.cache.*>
        ExpiresDefault "now plus 1 year"
</Files>
