Last night I used the PWA to access this site and got a 403 error. This site was down, but I had no way to refresh the page as the 403 page had been cached locally in the PWA.

Please implement “pull to refresh”. It should be a little JS to easily add this to the PWA.

Note: I did have to force quit the PWA this morning to reload the page with the 403 server down error. Not all users will know to do this and would be stuck.

Also, the error page was from AWS Cloudfront CDN for this site. You should also configure custom error pages for your CDN so the error pages have a “reload” link to the page (and “pull to refresh” JS and no-cache response header).
