As web developers, we are constantly striving to provide our users with the best possible browsing experience. Regardless of their device, our aim is to provide them with resilient, performant websites that just work. Imagine if you could take this to the next level and provide your users with a super fast website with a similar experience to native applications. This is where Service Workers come in. They are a promising game changer that provides developers with powerful features such as offline browsing, periodic background syncs, and push notifications to name just a few!

and much more!
