Apache Server setup (not cordova) - mod-expires etc

This may well be a foolish question - we are quite new to ionic2.

We have a webapp only (not android or iphone)
We’ve noticed that the content on our webapp site is very “sticky”.
We have a “plain” apache2 server serving the files.
Should we be configuring it in some way - I’m thinking “mod-expires” here?
Looking a text/html content - it has the date on which it was fetched, but no expiration date.

Or does ionic2 handle all caching? In which case is there a way to expire / flush the cache so that a new release becomes visible.

Best practice advice needed!

Thanks

turns out this has nothing to do with Apache.

It’s important to set the settings for service worker to Net first and not Cache first
