Issues with service worker caches requests
-
Hi,
in [ redundant link removed ] I have some issues.
On this site, I’m using Divi Theme and Toolset plugin and its addon.
Well, using the site I had some issues in the back end and front end.
I have asked Toolset support to solve the issues because the issues come using its plugins.
Well, they have analyzed the entire site configuration and have found that the issues come from Super PWA plugin.Following you can find what they have written me.
Can you help me, please?`This was a real head scratcher given what the developer was seeing vs what I was seeing when we were both editing the page at the same time but seeing different results.
I eventually tracked down the problem, which arises from the Super Progressive Web Apps plugin.
That plugin installs a service worker in any browser that visits the site.
That service worker remains installed and active even if you de-activate the plugin.
So some users (those that visited the site when the plugin was active) will see one thing (in this case, the problem), while other users who visit the site when the plugin has been de-activated will see something else (in this case, everything working normally).
The question of which browser is used (Firefox or Chrome) was a red herring, simply reflecting whether the user had the service worker installed in their current browser or not.
So the problem happens when saving the template because the service worker caches requests that don’t then reach the server.
From my understanding of the purpose of the plugin—to give an app-like experience on mobile devices—it should only be operating on the front-end, I don’t imagine that you need an app-like experience for working in the WordPress admin pages.
I suggest you contact the developers for clarification: should the service worker be operating on back-end operations. If it *is*, this is creating compatibility issues, and you would need to know more about how to disable it in the back end (I couldn’t find any such settings).`
