 ## Features
 
 - **Nested Routes** - Organize your UI with nested layouts and routes
-- **Data Loading** - Built-in loaders with caching and stale-while-revalidate strategy
+- **Data Loading** - Built-in loaders with TTL-based caching (`staleTime`)
 - **Navigation Blocking** - Prevent accidental navigation with `useBlocker`
 - **Smooth Animations** - Page transitions with fade effect (customizable duration)
 - **Static Layout** — Keep navbar, footer, and other elements outside the router to avoid unnecessary re-renders
 - **Programmatic Redirects** - Redirect from beforeLoad hook
 - **Cache invalidation** - Manual route invalidation
+- **Bounded Cache** - Automatically evicts least recently used entries once `maxCacheSize` is reached, keeping memory usage predictable in long sessions
 - **Prefetching** - Preload data on hover for instant navigation
 - **Lazy Loading** - Code-split your routes with dynamic imports for optimal performance
 - **Scroll Restoration** — Automatically saves and restores scroll position when navigating back to a page (preserves user's scroll position)
 - **Optimistic navigation** — Instantly renders stale cached data while fresh data is loaded in the background.
-- **Flexible API** - Use components or hooks as you prefer
 - **Browser History** - Full support for browser back/forward buttons
 - **Context-aware** - Pass and update context through routes

 ### Caching behavior:
+
 - The loader result is cached and reused when navigating back to the same route (e.g., from /user/123 back to /user/456 it will be a new request because different params, but from /user/456 to /user/456 — cache hit).
-- Use staleTime in route config to control how long cache is considered fresh:
-```
+- Use `staleTime` in route config to control how long cache is considered fresh:
+
+```tsx
 {
   path: '/user/:userId',
   loader: async ({ params }) => fetchUser(params.userId),
   staleTime: 60000, // 1 minute — cache is fresh for 60 seconds
 }
 ```
- - Stale cache entries are cleaned up incrementally on every navigation, keeping the loader cache from growing unbounded over long sessions.
+
+- Stale entries are cleaned up on every navigation, so cache growth stays tied to how often you actually revisit stale data — not to how long the session lasts.
+- On top of that, the cache is bounded by `maxCacheSize` — once the limit is reached, the least recently used entry is evicted to make room for a new one, regardless of whether it's still fresh. This caps memory usage for apps with many high-cardinality dynamic routes (e.g. `/product/:id` across a large catalog). It defaults to a device-aware value (lower on mobile) and can be overridden on the `Router`:
+
+```tsx
+<Router routes={routes} maxCacheSize={200} />
+```
