The cache-control directive doesn't make sense here:

max-age=0,no-cache,no-store,must-revalidate
  • no-cache and no-store have different effects and are mutually exclusive, meaning the browser cannot adhere to both at the same time
  • no-cache already equals must-revalidate.
  • no-store already equals max-age=0.

I use no-cache for my html files to ensure that I never serve stale versions while minimizing my bandwidth costs.
Here's a great resource for figuring this out for yourself: https://web.dev/http-cache/#defining-optimal-cache-control-policy

  • no-store already equals max-age=0.

no-store is not equal to max-age=0 https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Cache-Control#preventing_caching

Thanks for the commands example, however, the Cache-Control directive in it is plainly wrong and doesn't make sense, as also mentioned by the @agconti.
