When running my tests with the network tab open, I see the request count running very high. It seems like every cy.get() loads all static assets on that page as if it were a full page reload.
The initiator of these requests is the Cypress runner. Is this the way cypress works? Is there a way to cache these images? Normal browser caching does not seem to work.
The high request count causes the browser to use more and more memory, resulting in slower and slower tests over time.
I've added a screenshot below to show that the same images are being loaded without caching within a very short timespan. This applies to other static assets like fonts too.
