Description

Pull to Refresh for PWA is a WordPress plugin designed to make your Progressive Web App feel responsive and native. It enables users to reload page content in your PWA by simply pulling down on a list or data area with a touch gesture.

This solves the common PWA issue of feeling “stuck” when content changes, because visitors can refresh instantly without navigating away.
