I've just integrated service workers into my app, and the performance boost is incredible! It loads almost instantly, making it faster than many native apps. I spent hours reloading my page because it feels so seamless now. But here's my main question: Why is the entire web still so slow in 2025 when implementing this took me less than two hours using Next.js? Seriously, it seems like everyone should be doing this. Also, if anyone wants to check it out, let me know if there's anything broken; maybe I overdid the reloads!

Honestly, it’s just client-side caching, but it does take up some RAM on the user's device. Some might find that concerning, but it really isn't as dramatic as it sounds.
What specific features are you using service workers for? Are you caching static assets or is it more about dynamic content?
I'm mainly using them for conversation caching and the app shell design. So when users come back, their previous interactions show up almost instantly, even if they're offline.
Yeah, cache invalidation can be tricky. It’s always a concern that users might see an outdated version of your app. But if you plan for it, service workers can be super effective!
Lol, everything sounds cooler when you throw the word 'quantum' in there. 😂 But hey, it kinda has that randomness to it, right? Check out this [learn page](https://qching.ai/learn) for more.
How much RAM does your app actually use? I'm curious about its impact!
