Requesting feed content unnecessarily critical

This app is unnecessarily re-requesting feed content from websites without waiting until there's actually new content published.

Why it's a problem

The unnecessary traffic wastes a website's resources that can be used for its other site visitors.

What it means for users

Websites are likely to limit this app from accessing feed content, causing feeds to not update properly or stop working entirely.

How to fix it

The application needs to be updated to wait until the max-age of Cache-Control header expires before re-requesting feed content or properly implement conditional requests.
