Let the dinosaurs finally die out with a little help of a Service Work

" summary

Claims that adding offline capability to an online store boosts engagement and revenue and demonstrates it with a working demo: an SPA e‑commerce site that registers a service worker, preloads assets and product data into the cache, and intercepts fetches so pages load instantly even with the origin server killed. Uses the Service Worker and Cache APIs (navigator.serviceWorker.register('/sw.js'), caches.open('v1').addAll([...])), shows checkout needs special handling, notes limited browser support.
