Service Worker is not caching every API GET (React, WorkBox)

Question

I created a new React Project with Service Worker already written. I am making 3 different API requests in App. But only the results from the Pokémon API gets displayed when I disconnect from the internet and reload. The other 2 aren't getting cached. Here is the code in App. Really simple.

function App() {
  const [pokemon, setPokemon] = useState([])
  const [word, setWord] = useState("")
  const [color, setColor] = useState("")


  useEffect(() => {
    getAPI()
  }, [])

  const getAPI = async () => {
    const response = await fetch("https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon?limit=100")
    const data = await response.json()
    setPokemon(data.results)
    const response1 = await fetch("https://random-words-api.vercel.app/word")
    const data1 = await response1.json()
    setWord(data1[0].word)
    const response2 = await fetch("https://random-data-api.com/api/color/random_color")
    const data2 = await response2.json()
    setColor(data2.color_name)
  }

  return (
    <div className="App">
      <p>Random Word: {word}</p>
      <p>Random Color: {color}</p>
      {pokemon.map((p,i) => <p onClick={(e)=> console.log(e.target)} key={i}>{ `${i} - ${p.name} - ${p.url}`}</p>)}
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

This is the prebuilt service worker file.

/* eslint-disable no-restricted-globals */

// This service worker can be customized!
// See https://developers.google.com/web/tools/workbox/modules
// for the list of available Workbox modules, or add any other
// code you'd like.
// You can also remove this file if you'd prefer not to use a
// service worker, and the Workbox build step will be skipped.

import { clientsClaim } from 'workbox-core';
import { ExpirationPlugin } from 'workbox-expiration';
import { precacheAndRoute, createHandlerBoundToURL } from 'workbox-precaching';
import { registerRoute } from 'workbox-routing';
import { StaleWhileRevalidate } from 'workbox-strategies';

clientsClaim();

// Precache all of the assets generated by your build process.
// Their URLs are injected into the manifest variable below.
// This variable must be present somewhere in your service worker file,
// even if you decide not to use precaching. See https://cra.link/PWA
precacheAndRoute(self.__WB_MANIFEST);

// Set up App Shell-style routing, so that all navigation requests
// are fulfilled with your index.html shell. Learn more at
// https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/architecture/app-shell
const fileExtensionRegexp = new RegExp('/[^/?]+\\.[^/]+$');
registerRoute(
  // Return false to exempt requests from being fulfilled by index.html.
  ({ request, url }) => {
    // If this isn't a navigation, skip.
    if (request.mode !== 'navigate') {
      return false;
    } // If this is a URL that starts with /_, skip.

    if (url.pathname.startsWith('/_')) {
      return false;
    } // If this looks like a URL for a resource, because it contains // a file extension, skip.

    if (url.pathname.match(fileExtensionRegexp)) {
      return false;
    } // Return true to signal that we want to use the handler.

    return true;
  },
  createHandlerBoundToURL(process.env.PUBLIC_URL + '/index.html')
);

// An example runtime caching route for requests that aren't handled by the
// precache, in this case same-origin .png requests like those from in public/
registerRoute(
  // Add in any other file extensions or routing criteria as needed.
  ({ url }) => url.origin === self.location.origin && url.pathname.endsWith('.png'), // Customize this strategy as needed, e.g., by changing to CacheFirst.
  new StaleWhileRevalidate({
    cacheName: 'images',
    plugins: [
      // Ensure that once this runtime cache reaches a maximum size the
      // least-recently used images are removed.
      new ExpirationPlugin({ maxEntries: 50 }),
    ],
  })
);

// This allows the web app to trigger skipWaiting via
// registration.waiting.postMessage({type: 'SKIP_WAITING'})
self.addEventListener('message', (event) => {
  console.error("Message")
  if (event.data && event.data.type === 'SKIP_WAITING') {
    self.skipWaiting();
  }
});

self.addEventListener('fetch', function (event) {
  event.respondWith(
    fetch(event.request).catch(function () {
      return caches.match(event.request);
    }),
  );
});

// Any other custom service worker logic can go here.

Whats the cause of this behaviour?

EDIT: It is so smart it only caches duplicate responses. But i would like it to cache the last value anyway. How?

Ok, i only see you have a cache match, but i don't see there's code to validate the cache, ex. when there's no match.

self.addEventListener('fetch', function(event) {
  console.log('Handling fetch event for', event.request.url);

  event.respondWith(
    caches.open(CURRENT_CACHES.font).then(function(cache) {
      return cache.match(event.request).then(function(response) {
        if (response) {
          // If there is an entry in the cache for event.request, then response will be defined
          // and we can just return it. Note that in this example, only font resources are cached.
          console.log(' Found response in cache:', response);

          return response;
        }

        // Otherwise, if there is no entry in the cache for event.request, response will be
        // undefined, and we need to fetch() the resource.
        console.log(' No response for %s found in cache. About to fetch ' +
          'from network...', event.request.url);

        // We call .clone() on the request since we might use it in a call to cache.put() later on.
        // Both fetch() and cache.put() "consume" the request, so we need to make a copy.
        // (see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Request/clone)
        return fetch(event.request.clone()).then(function(response) {
          console.log('  Response for %s from network is: %O',
            event.request.url, response);

          if (response.status < 400 &&
              response.headers.has('content-type') &&
              response.headers.get('content-type').match(/^font\//i)) {
            // This avoids caching responses that we know are errors (i.e. HTTP status code of 4xx or 5xx).
            // We also only want to cache responses that correspond to fonts,
            // i.e. have a Content-Type response header that starts with "font/".
            // Note that for opaque filtered responses (https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-filtered-response-opaque)
            // we can't access to the response headers, so this check will always fail and the font won't be cached.
            // All of the Google Web Fonts are served off of a domain that supports CORS, so that isn't an issue here.
            // It is something to keep in mind if you're attempting to cache other resources from a cross-origin
            // domain that doesn't support CORS, though!
            // We call .clone() on the response to save a copy of it to the cache. By doing so, we get to keep
            // the original response object which we will return back to the controlled page.
            // (see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Request/clone)
            console.log('  Caching the response to', event.request.url);
            cache.put(event.request, response.clone());
          } else {
            console.log('  Not caching the response to', event.request.url);
          }

          // Return the original response object, which will be used to fulfill the resource request.
          return response;
        });
      }).catch(function(error) {
        // This catch() will handle exceptions that arise from the match() or fetch() operations.
        // Note that a HTTP error response (e.g. 404) will NOT trigger an exception.
        // It will return a normal response object that has the appropriate error code set.
        console.error('  Error in fetch handler:', error);

        throw error;
      });
    })
  );
