Vite network requests stop loading with a self-signed SSL certificate

Network requests stop loading

Chrome can ignore the cache behavior Vite relies on when the dev server uses a self-signed SSL certificate, which can leave requests stuck reloading.

  • The Vite dev server is using a self-signed SSL certificate.
  • Chrome is ignoring caching directives because the certificate is not trusted.
  • The browser keeps reloading assets instead of using the normal dev-server cache behavior.
  1. Use a trusted SSL certificate for the Vite development server.
  2. Import the development certificate into the system trust store if you must keep a local certificate.
  3. Retest in a clean browser session after the certificate is trusted so stale reload behavior is cleared.
