How to Enable Google Chrome PWA Support for WordPress Websites

Hello everyone, I'm the new editor known as Brother Lei Feng. Recently, Brother Lei Feng noticed that many websites have started supporting Google Chrome PWA applications. PWA functionality can turn a website into an application similar to a mini-program, supporting both PC and mobile. The advantage is that you don't need Android development skills to generate an Android APP for your website. If the website supports caching technology, you can also read the website content offline. Currently, Weibo also supports PWA. When you open the mobile version of Weibo, it will prompt you whether to install the application.The installed Weibo PWA application can basically be used as a client, and it's ad-free.

So the question arises, how to make WordPress also support PWA functionality?
