            • Purpose: Loads Google's Workbox service worker library so the offline cache and routing strategies can function.<\/li>\n
            • What is sent and when: The browser downloads a static JavaScript file (workbox-sw.js) when the service worker is installed\/updated. No user data is sent by this plugin as part of that request.<\/li>\n
            • Provider: Google. Terms: https:\/\/policies.google.com\/terms \u2014 Privacy: https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy \u2014 Workbox: https:\/\/developer.chrome.com\/docs\/workbox\/<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/li>\n

              • What is sent and when: The browser requests a static image from https:\/\/s0.wp.com\/mshots\/v1\/ with your site URL included in the query string plus viewport parameters. As with any HTTP request, the visitor\u2019s IP address and user agent are sent by the browser to the CDN. No additional user-specific data is sent by this plugin.<\/li>\n
              • Provider: Automattic (WordPress.com). Terms: https:\/\/wordpress.com\/tos \u2014 Privacy: https:\/\/automattic.com\/privacy<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/li>\n

                • What is sent and when: The visitor\u2019s IP address is looked up server\u2011side on first PWA open and when a user subscribes to push notifications. The response is used to store country information only.<\/li>\n
                • Provider: GeoJS. Website\/Docs: https:\/\/www.geojs.io\/ \u2014 Privacy: https:\/\/www.geojs.io\/privacy\/<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/li>\n

                • OneSignal SDK Worker (cdn.onesignal.com)<\/p>\n\n

                    \n
                  • Purpose: If the OneSignal plugin is active, the service worker imports OneSignal\u2019s web push SDK worker to enable that plugin\u2019s push features.<\/li>\n
                  • What is sent and when: Requests the OneSignal SDK worker file. Any subsequent data flows are governed by the OneSignal plugin\/account configuration.<\/li>\n
                  • Provider: OneSignal. Terms: https:\/\/onesignal.com\/terms-of-service \u2014 Privacy: https:\/\/onesignal.com\/privacy<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/li>\n

                  • Webpushr Service Worker (cdn.webpushr.com)<\/p>\n\n

                      \n

                      Notes:\n- OneSignal and Webpushr integrations are conditional and only load if those plugins are active on your site.\n- Web push delivery uses the standard browser push endpoints associated with each subscription (e.g., services operated by browser vendors). The specific endpoint domain varies per browser and is not controlled by this plugin.<\/p>\n\n

                            What are Progressive Web Apps (PWAs)?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                            Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) are web apps built and enhanced with modern APIs to provide enhanced capabilities while still reaching any web user on any device with a single codebase. They combine the broad reach of web apps with the rich capabilities of platform-specific apps to enhance the user experience.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                            What is the benefit of having a PWA over a native app?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                            PWAs are more cost-effective to develop and maintain than native apps since there's no need to create separate Android and iOS apps or manage them on app stores. Your website can be installed directly from the browser like an app, without taking up space on users' devices.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                            Can I have both PWA and iOS and Android apps?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                            Yes! That's the beauty of having a PWA. With Progressify, you can enhance your website with PWA features for a native app-like experience in browsers and also generate real iOS and Android apps for app store publication, reaching billions of users. iOS and Android apps generated by Progressify don't require updates, as they reflect your website in real time\u2014any changes you make will automatically appear in the apps.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                            Is Progressify compatible with my theme?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                            Progressify is compatible with any WordPress theme, plugin or any other WordPress configuration, be it standard WordPress website, e-commerce, membership, affiliate, social network, etc. It is a standalone plugin that does not require or depend on anything else to function.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                            Which browsers are supported by Progressify?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                            Most of the PWA functionality is supported by all major browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, and Microsoft Edge. Additionally, Progressify is designed to be compatible with all the browsers by adapting PWA features it provides to the browser's capabilities.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                            Which devices are supported by Progressify?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                            Progressify is compatible with any device that supports modern browsers\u2014including desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. Its PWA functionality ensures a seamless experience across all devices capable of running supported browsers.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
