Description

I noted after sucesive improvements at https://mythbusters.js.org the website cached a old version of the web and it's necessary a hard refresh for fetch the new version.

Could be interesting implement a way to auto-expire the cache after a period of time (for example, 5 day).

Research direction
Look at the existing service worker implementation in the repository, likely at `src/service worker.js` or similar. The issue asks for auto expiring cache after a period (e.g., 5 days). Investigate the current caching strategy and implement a time based check before serving cached assets. Check the comments for any additional context or requirements. Ensure the solution respects the existing cache structure and adds a versioning or expiry mechanism.
