Progressive Web App (PWA)
The Progressive Web App, or PWA, is a web application that uses modern web technology to provide a user experience similar to that of a native mobile app. PWAs are designed to be fast, reliable, and engage users on any device.
PWAs use service workers to cache resources and provide offline access, which means they can work even in low-connectivity or no-connectivity situations. In addition, PWAs can receive push notifications and be added to the home screen of a user’s device, making them more easily accessible.
While PWAs are still a relatively new technology, they have been shown to improve conversion rates and engagement for businesses that adopt them. For example, AliExpress saw a 104% increase in conversion rates after implementing a PWA, and Uber’s PWA resulted in a 76% increase in engagement among new users.
Conclusion
If you’re considering using a PWA for your business, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, PWAs need to be built using modern web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. You’ll also need a service worker script that handles caching and offline access.
Finally, you’ll need to make sure your PWA is served over HTTPS to ensure security and reliability. With these requirements in mind, you can start building your own PWA today.
