From the developer

SuperPWA's own description of Super Progressive Web Apps, lightly tidied.

Progressive Web Apps (PWA) is a new technology that combines the best of mobile web and the best of mobile apps to create a superior mobile web experience. They are installed on the phone like a normal app (web app) and can be accessed from the home screen.

Home | Documentation | Help | Premium version Features

Users can come back to your website by launching the app from their home screen and interact with your website through an app-like interface. Your return visitors will experience almost-instant loading times and enjoy the great performance benefits of your PWA!

Super Progressive Web Apps makes it easy for you to convert your WordPress website into a Progressive Web App instantly!

Once SuperPWA is installed, users browsing your website from a supported mobile device will see a “Add To Home Screen” notice (from the bottom of the screen) and will be able to ‘install your website’ on the home screen of their device. Every page visited is stored locally on their device and will be available to read even when they are offline!

SuperPWA is easy to configure, it takes less than a minute to set-up your Progressive Web App! SuperPWA does a clean uninstall, by removing every database entry and file that it creates. In fact, none of the default settings are saved to the database until you manually save it the first time. Go ahead and give it a try.

And the best part? If you ever get stuck, we are here to watch your back! Open a support ticket if you have a question or need a feature. We are super excited to hear your feedback and we want to genuinely help you build the best Progressive Web App for your WordPress website!

Quick Demo?

  • Open up SuperPWA.com in a supported device.
  • Add the website to your home screen either from the Add to Home Screen prompt (Chrome for Android) or from the browser menu.
  • Open the app from your home screen and you will see the splash screen.
  • Turn off your data and wifi to go offline and open up the app. You will still be able to see the app and browse the pages you have already visited.
  • Browse to a page that you haven’t visited before. The offline page will be displayed.
