    the page gets downloaded again

    but if the page is not available at the point of time then the cached version is displayed for us

    The first time you open a website it is downloaded completely on to your local system. If you re-open the website then the cached version which is already on your local system is displayed first until and unless there are any updates done to the website you are opening i.e., you will see the same website unless there are changes made to the website before you open it second time.

    I'll add some correction to the wordings used above to avoid confusion. When a web site is opened, the 'web page' being loaded on the browser is downloaded. It's not the 'entire website' that gets downloaded. Most of the time, the browser will automatically catch the web page objects so that they don't have to be fetched again; these objects would usually contain the most common objects that aren't expected to change every time you visit a site. The images mostly are served from the local cache if the image on the server isn't changed.
