In this lesson we're going to test a PWA (Progressive Web App) that I've properly configured. In order to do this test, it's recommended that you use your own device and enter the address of the site that you want to test.

To show you how it works, I'm going to use the iOS simulator here. However, keep in mind that this test can also be done on a computer.
