I delved into this bug out of curiosity.

• The swipe-back feature works fine on macOS Safari.
• However, the issue arises on iOS and iPadOS Safari.
• I observed that the swipe-back behaves differently on iOS and iPadOS.

In essence, the swipe-back on mobile devices uniquely engages the back-forward cache*, leading to a situation where the cache is retrieved and rendered, but JavaScript does not execute.

I have found a solution to this issue but am researching for a potentially better approach.

Additionally, I plan to investigate and address the following

• Whether this bug is replicated in other versions of Safari
• Consulting Apple's developer documentation for a superior solution
• Understanding why this issue is exclusive to mobile Safari

Would it be okay to submit a PR once all these points are thoroughly examined?

Thanks!

*It's noted that this cache differs from the standard caching as it only caches the HTML code.

Yeah PRs are welcome. But I'm not seeing this issue with https://vuejs.org/, what are we doing different here (other than theme) 👀

This information is crucial. 😄

I checked the docs repository on the official website of Vuejs.org and found that they are using version rc.33, which is a breakthrough point for this issue.

I tried to fix it and submit a PR #3671 .
