PWA is

NetworkIndependent

Re-engageable

Fresh

Act as proxy servers that sit

between web apps, the browser,

and the network.

Define the rules what should be

cached and loaded from where –

no more hoping the browser

caches your work.

Intercept network requests and

define what happens. Serve from

cache, refresh, convert before

display, etc….

Refresh your app in the

background, pull new content

and notify the user with push

notifications that something new

is available.

Detect support easily. If your

user’s device doesn’t support it,

fall back to push service.
