Building Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) from Scratch in 2026

Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) combine the reach of the open web with the tactile responsiveness of native applications. By configuring a web app manifest and implementing a Service Worker caching strategy, your web utilities remain fully functional even without internet connectivity.

1. Service Worker Offline Cache Strategy

const CACHE_NAME = 'aitoolxradar-v1';
const ASSETS = ['/', '/index.html', '/styles.css', '/app.js'];

self.addEventListener('install', event => {
  event.waitUntil(
    caches.open(CACHE_NAME).then(cache => cache.addAll(ASSETS))
  );
});

self.addEventListener('fetch', event => {
  event.respondWith(
    caches.match(event.request).then(cached => cached || fetch(event.request))
  );
});
