The progress bar is (presumably) for PWA installation, it really shouldn't be showing beyond the first load (yet it is, lol). Ideally it should just do the install in the background while you use the site normally, too. It's a shame the offline functionality of the doc site just _isn't very good_ even though documentation is one of the easiest types of application to serve offline.

The page _does load_ offline, but several pages are showing markdown render errors (may just be unvisited pages), images are generally missing and showing alt-text instead, etc.

I'd say offline access is the killer feature of PWA as documentation, but it's just not executed well enough here.
