SuperPWA Premium v2.2.11 + v1.24 (Super Progressive Web Apps) + Addons Download

4 January, 2023

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.

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.

THANK YOU PWA ENTHUSIASTS!

We are humbled by the feedback from the community. Thanks to everyone who believed in us and tried our plugin. Your feedback has been invaluable and we have learned a lot from your experience.

PROGRESSIVE WEB APP MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

Progressive Web Apps require that your WordPress website is served from a secure origin i.e. your website should be HTTPS and not HTTP. If your website isn’t HTTPS, please contact your host about it. You can also ask us if you need help.

DEVICE AND BROWSER SUPPORT FOR PWA

Progressive web apps need browsers that support manifests and service workers. Currently Google Chrome (version 57+), Chrome for Android (62), Mozilla Firefox (57), Firefox for Android (58) are the major browsers that support PWA.

The list is fast growing and is likely to be supported in most major browsers by the end of this year.

HOW TO CONVERT YOUR WORDPRESS WEBSITE INTO A PROGRESSIVE WEB APP

WORDPRESS INSTALLATION

• Visit WordPress Admin > Plugins > Add New
• Search for ‘Super Progressive Web Apps’
• Click “Install Now” and then “Activate” Super Progressive Web Apps

To install manually:

• Upload super-progressive-web-apps folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory on your server
• Go to WordPress Admin > Plugins
• Activate Super Progressive Web Apps plugin from the list.

CUSTOMIZING YOUR PROGRESSIVE WEB APP

Your Progressive Web App should be ready to test with the default settings on activation. You can customize it further and make it truly your own.

• Go to WordPress Admin > SuperPWA
• Set a Background Color for the splash screen to be shown when your PWA is opened on a mobile device.
• Set the Application Icon. This will be the icon of your PWA when it is added to the homescreen in a mobile device. The icon must be a PNG image and exactly 192 x 192 pixels in size.
• Set the Offline Page. This page will be displayed if the user is offline and the page he requested is not cached already. Ideally you should create a dedicated WordPress page and set it here. Within the page you create, you could add a note that reads, “It looks like you are offline and the page you requested is not available right now. Please check back again once you are online.”.
• Click “Save Settings”.

TESTING YOUR PROGRESSIVE WEB APP

• Open a supported browser in a supported device (for eg: Chrome for Android (62 or higher) in an Android Phone)
• Enter your website and wait till it fully loads
• You should see a pop-up that has your Application Icon and a button that reads “ADD TO HOME SCREEN”.
• Click on it and your PWA will be added to your home screen. Wait for the install to complete.
• Go to your home screen and open your PWA. Browse into a few pages if you like. Close the App.
• Disconnect from the internet and now open your PWA again. You should be able to see all the pages that you previously browsed.
• Try visiting a page that you did not visit before. You should see the page you set as your “Offline Page” in the settings of SuperPWA.

TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR PROGRESSIVE WEB APP

Uh, oh. Your PWA did not work as expected? You do not see the “Add to Home Screen” notice?

• Make sure your website has a SSL certificate installed. i.e. your website should be https instead of http (as in https://your-domain.com).
• Make sure you are using a supported device and a supported browser. Refer to the “Device and Browser Support For PWA” list above.
• Make sure your Application Icon and Splash Screen Icon’s are of PNG format and 192px X 192px and 512px X 512px in size respectively.
• Clear the browser cache and try again. In Chrome for Android, go to Settings > Privacy > “Clear browsing data”.
• If the application icon does not update after first install, delete the PWA from your phone, clear browser cache and install again. (We are working on making it better.)
• Create a new support ticket and share a link to your website. We will take a look and figure it out for you.
