What are some alternatives to background sync?

There are several alternatives to background sync, such as using service workers, push notifications, and local storage for data caching.

Can you explain how service workers can be used instead?

Service workers act as a proxy between your web app and the network, allowing you to cache resources and manage requests even when offline.

What are push notifications and how do they work?

Push notifications are messages sent from a server to a client device, allowing apps to receive updates even when not actively in use.

How does local storage help with data caching?

Local storage allows you to store data in the user's browser, making it accessible even when the user is offline, improving load times.

Are there any limitations to these alternatives?

Yes, each alternative has its limitations, such as browser compatibility, storage limits, and the need for user permissions.
