Reducing Single Point of Failure using Service Workers

I&#x27;ve seen a lot of weird talk regarding using Service Workers to do things that don&#x27;t make any sense to me.<p>In this case, what good is all this code? The service worker only controls the page on <i>subsequent</i> visits, after the user already has a warm cache that includes the 3rd party script. And even if that weren&#x27;t true, can your site really degrade if angular times out and fails to load?
