-When you set the value to `no-cache` on a subrequest made from a Worker, the Cloudflare Workers
-runtime will force the cache to revalidate its data with the origin
+When `no-cache` is set, the Worker request will first look for a match in its cache.
+
+If there is a match, a conditional request is sent to the origin, regardless of whether or not the
+match is fresh or stale. If the resource has not changed, the cached version is returned. If the resource has changed, it
+will be downloaded from the origin, updated in the cache, and returned.
+
+If there is no match in the cache, Workers will make a standard request to the origin and cache the response.
 
 This increases compatibility with NPM packages and JavaScript frameworks that rely on setting the
 [`cache`](/workers/runtime-apis/request/#options) property, which is a cross-platform standard part
 of the [`Request`](/workers/runtime-apis/request/) interface. Previously, if you set the `cache`
 property on `Request` to `'no-cache'`, the Workers runtime threw an exception.
