At Your Service with Service Workers

on YouTube ↗30m

" summary

Service workers cache site shells and static assets via the Cache API so pages load from the browser even with Wi‑Fi off, a demo shows assets served while offline. Form submissions queue in IndexedDB and use background sync to replay requests when connectivity returns. Push uses the Push API with explicit permission, saves subscriptions to a backend (Firebase shown) and triggers notifications from the push service. Claim: progressive caching boosts performance and conversions (example cited ~20%); ~12% of US adults lack home internet.
