#4: Turn Any Website Into Progressive Web App (PWA)

In this page, we’ll explore how to transform any website into a Progressive Web App (PWA) using just the built‑in tools in Chrome and Microsoft Edge. PWAs bridge the gap between websites and native apps — giving users the ability to install your site directly on their device, enjoy offline access, and experience faster, app‑like performance. The best part? You don’t need complex frameworks to get started; with a few simple steps, you can make your site installable and ready to run like a native app. 

But first, let's dive into benefits of PWA vs Native Apps

🔑 Key Points About Service Workers

• Background Worker

Runs independently of your web page, so it can handle tasks even when the app isn’t open.

• Caching & Offline Support

Stores files (HTML, CSS, JS, images) locally, so your app can load quickly and even work offline.

• Network Control

Intercepts network requests and decides whether to serve cached content or fetch fresh data from the server.

• Push Notifications

Enables web push notifications, so your PWA can send updates like a native app.

• Installability

A valid service worker is one of the requirements for a site to be installable as a PWA.
