This directory lists plugins that add Progressive Web App (PWA) capabilities to a site, allowing it to function more like a native mobile application. It is for site owners and developers looking to improve mobile user experience, increase engagement, and enable offline functionality without building a separate app.

• Core PWA Conversion: Plugins like SuperPWA and PWA plugin provide the fundamental features to convert a site into a PWA, typically generating the required web app manifest and service worker files.
• Offline Functionality: A key benefit is enabling the site to work without an internet connection by caching content and pages using service workers.
• Home Screen Installation: These tools allow users to install the web app directly to their device's home screen from their browser, improving accessibility and repeat visits.
• Advanced Features: Some plugins offer additional capabilities like push notifications to re-engage users, custom splash screens, and iOS-specific support for a more native app-like feel.
• Performance & Engagement: By caching assets and enabling offline use, PWAs can lead to faster load times and a more reliable experience, which can help increase user retention and interaction.
