ServiceWorker” in your website.
 Manifest file is a json file that has configurations
of web applications. ServiceWorker is a JavaScript file that controls PWA’s functions.
To start PWA, configure two files from configuration screen.

You can fine-tune the cache, such as expiration date, time and URL exclusion.
 By
excluding the URLs, like a new arrival information, data acquisition destination
in Ajax, this plugin can keep PWA data fresh. You can set expire time of caches,
then old cache will purged after specified time.

 Multi sites are supported. You can defer the PWA installation
popup shown in browser default and add your own installation button on your sites.

file from Manifest Configuration page. Image file will be resized to fit icon sizes
automatically.

I was looking for a PWA plugin for a multisite installation. It had to be compatible
with our push notifications plugin and I tried a quite a few before I came across
this one. What a great find! An outstanding plugin, easy to setup with lots of very
useful features. Many thanks and best wishes to the developers.

有効期限やURLでの除外などキャッシュの細かなコントロールができます。 新着情報のリスト
やajaxでのデータ取得先のURLなどをキャッシュから除外することで、サイトの鮮度を保ち
ながらPWAの恩恵を受けることができる。
