Webflow Webiste PWA

Community resources Getting started

Hi everyone,

I’m currently running my website on Webflow and would like to know if it’s possible to configure it as a Progressive Web App (PWA). Specifically, I’m looking to understand:

  • Whether Webflow natively supports PWA setup, or if additional configuration is needed.

  • How to handle the manifest.json and service worker requirements within Webflow.

  • If there are any reliable workarounds or third-party integrations that the community recommends.

Has anyone here successfully implemented a PWA with Webflow? Any best practices, limitations, or step-by-step guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Thank you for answer, it seems to me that the post has been removed.

You can reverse proxy your site for the manifest.json and service-worker. Make sure to test all webflow features because Webflow already makes use of manifest.json, though I believe it’s only during the server-side rendering stage. You may need to replicate that content in your PWA-revised version.

My only experiments have been regarding continuous audio as you change pages, which led to some interesting results but inconsistencies and challenges as well.

What features are you trying to use?

Thanks for the tip! I’ll double-check Webflow’s manifest setup and handle the PWA layer accordingly. On liveapps.ch, I’m mainly targeting offline access, push notifications, caching, and eventually continuous audio. Have you found any stable workaround for the audio part?

No, but the most commonly accepted approach for continuous audio is a one-pager site design with dynamic loading; you could do that with standard JS.

Thanks for the tip! I’ll host the PWA files externally and use Webflow’s custom code header and footer to inject the links, making it installable via the service worker.

I’m curious. Did you manage to get push notifications up and running?
