Why do prompts never show?

Browsers block multiple silent prompts. Trigger requests after a clear user action and ensure the page is served over HTTPS.

Do I need a Service Worker for push?

Yes. Web Push requires a registered Service Worker to receive messages when the page is closed.

How do I reset permissions?

Use the site info panel (padlock) or browser settings → Privacy → Notifications to clear the deny state, then re-run the test.

No notifications will be triggered without your explicit action.

Get reliable push prompts

We verify the Notifications API, permission status, and Service Worker registration prerequisites so you can debug missing push prompts without spamming users. Many browsers auto-block repeated prompts or require a user gesture.

If permissions are 'denied', you must reset them in browser settings; the API cannot re-prompt automatically. On iOS, push requires adding the site to the home screen and enabling notifications per site.
