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。
