PWA underhood: what makes it so progressive

on YouTube ↗36m

" summary

Walks through concrete PWA plumbing: Service Worker lifecycle and registration, fetch interception plus Cache API for custom strategies, Push API used to fetch updates then update cache without bothering users, and the Chrome-originated Background Sync with a background sync queue (periodic sync not yet widely available). Notes limits: browser support varies (Chrome and Edge lead, Safari and Firefox lag), storage caps can eject large assets, and these pieces together measurably lift engagement and conversion when applied selectively.
