 All about progressive web apps

What are Progressive Web Applications?

Progressive Web Applications (PWA) integrate the key features of mobile websites with native applications. They are websites that appear similar to and function like an application, which implies that users can get access to all the information and features without installing the mobile application.

Alternatively, Progressive Web Applications use the latest web technology to offer app-like perceptions to users, directly through their browsers.

They are cost-effective, productive and take up very little space on mobile devices. The features of native applications make them simpler to interact with, while mobile websites have a significant reach as they are much easily available (as there isn’t a need to find and install a software application from an Application Store).

The Progressive Web Application technology uses the application program interface to offer a native-style application experience in a web browser. There is no need to install progressive web apps, yet they can perpetually remain on the home screen of a user.

Why Opt for Progressive Web Applications?

Businesses can take advantage of Progressive Web Applications to boost their page visits, session length, and conversions.

Offering a better performance as compared to conventional websites and applications, quicker loading time, and engaging user interactions, Progressive Web Applications are cost-effective and consume very little space in mobile devices.

The most distinguishing features of progressive web applications include the following:

• Congruence with almost every search engine.
• Their responsiveness makes them fit for all kinds of devices.
• Setup as a standard smartphone or desktop application, but without the need to be installed.
• The ability to function on poor quality networks or operate offline.
• Navigation and interaction give an experience that is identical to that of a native application.
• Compatibility for push notifications, which makes re-engagement simple for users.
• Sharing made easy through links.
• Better website efficiency impacts the rates of conversion, customer experience, and retention.

Progressive web applications also possess the quality of being very lightweight, thus, allowing individuals to take full advantage of applications and websites without large amounts of data being consumed.
