if the request is a force refresh (Shift + refresh) or if
there is no active worker.

if (navigator.serviceWorker.controller) {
console.log(`This page is currently controlled by: ${navigator.serviceWorker.controller}`);
} else {
console.log('This page is not currently controlled by a service worker.');
}
} else {
console.log('Service workers are not supported.');
