There is no shortage of in-depth insight into how you can leverage ServiceWorker. I sure wrote a bunch of them!

Remy takes a different approach in his article, in an attempt to strip the concepts down to a simple copy & paste guide that will work for most situations. You can add a few tweaks afterwards!

I’m more of a “understand first, do later” mindset, but this still has its merits. If anything, it should spark your curiosity!

Worth keeping an eye out for Safari. It seems to be gaining momentum!
