PWA – Progressive Web App Builder by WPCodeQuill is a lightweight, zero-configuration Progressive Web App (PWA) generator for WordPress. It allows your mobile and desktop visitors to install your website directly onto their devices just like a native app.
By utilizing a dynamic Web App Manifest and a highly optimized, Network-First Service Worker, your site will load faster, provide an offline fallback page when users lose their internet connection, and feel like a true standalone application.
What's New in 1.0.7: We've introduced
Smart Auto-Cache Clearing. You never have to worry about users seeing stale content. The app automatically clears the user's cache when you update your site, ensuring they always see your newest posts immediately.
Key Features:
- Smart Auto-Cache Clearing (New): Automatically flushes the Service Worker cache on the user's device so they never see outdated content.
- Modern Dashboard UI (New): A beautiful, completely redesigned settings panel that makes configuration effortless.
- One-Click Install Button: Automatically displays a sleek, floating "Install App" button for supported mobile and desktop browsers.
- Dashboard Management: Easily customize your App Name, Short Name, Theme Colors, and App Icons directly from the WordPress Admin area.
- Dynamic Manifest: Automatically generates and links your
manifest.json file on the fly based on your customized settings.
- Network-First Service Worker: Ensures users always see your latest live content, but automatically falls back to a cached version if their internet connection drops.
- Zero Scope Issues: Dynamically serves the Service Worker from the root of your site, bypassing the strict directory limitations that break most other PWA plugins.
- Safe for WP-Admin: Carefully excludes the WordPress dashboard and login pages from caching, ensuring you never get locked out of your site.
