I would assume it is, since the server only needs to serve the API calls and not the whole web site code?
If so, getting people to use the apps could help with the current wave of users a little.

Nope. The web ui uses something called service worker which caches the html, css and js files on your device and only fetches updates from time to time.
Is that why my browser now takes 100MB more space that can’t be deleted by clearing cache…? I hate that.
Possibly? No idea how much of the data is from service worker cache. Also I’m not sure whether clearing the cache really skips service worker’s cache, my gut feeling would be that it’s purged as well.
