1. A system for caching network content, the system comprising:

  • a data store configured to store specific computer-executable instructions;

    a network computing component comprising computing hardware configured to execute the specific computer-executable instructions to;

    receive, from a client computing device configured with a wireless network connection, a request for a web page;

    predict a first web page that will be requested in the future, the prediction based at least in part on the received web page request; and

    cache the first web page according to a first caching policy, wherein the first caching policy specifies caching the first web page on the data store;

    receive a plurality of metrics from the client computing device, wherein the plurality of metrics comprises at least a location and a direction of travel of the client computing device;

    determine a current bandwidth of the client computing device;

    determine a future bandwidth of the client computing device based at least in part on the location and the direction of travel of the client computing device;

    compare the current bandwidth and the future bandwidth to determine whether a difference exceeds a threshold;

    in response to determining that the difference exceeds the threshold, transmit the first web page to the client computing device according to a second caching policy, wherein the second caching policy specifies caching the first web page on the client computing device; and

    cause the first web page to be cached on the client computing device according to the second caching policy.
