What is Progressive Web Application
Posted By : Anmol Kalra | 29-Oct-2021
PROGRESSIVE WEB APPLICATION (PWA) is the most advanced trend in the web development industry. They are growing popular daily as they make it effortless to build web applications with HTML, JAVASCRIPT, and CSS and provide web-based applications a native experience.
Native app store applications are capable of doing things like work offline, send push notifications, load on the home screen, and so on. Mobile Web Applications accessed in a mobile browser, by comparison, historically are far behind those things. Progressive Web Applications bring features we expect from native apps to the mobile browser experience that uses standards-based technologies and runs in a secure container accessible to anyone on the web.
Progressive Web Apps are on the roadmaps of many companies to modernize their website and adapt to users’ expectations.
On the whole, PWA describes a set of technologies, Web APIs, and design concepts that work in harmony to provide an app-like experience on your mobile web browser.
Before walking through some of the central tenets of Progressive Web Apps.
Let's have a look at some interesting trends and data acquired through google :
- 50% of smartphone users are bound to utilize the company's mobile website when browsing or shopping because they prefer not to download an application.
- One of the top explanations behind uninstalling an application is the restricted stockpiling (though an introduced PWA generally takes under 1MB).
- Cell phone clients are bound to buy from portable destinations that offer significant item suggestions, and 85% of cell phone clients say versatile warnings are valuable.
According to these observations, we can clearly state that customers prefer applications that are
- Fast
- Installable
- Reliable, and
- Engaging

New APIs, such as web push notifications, can more easily re-engage users through personalized content to generate loyalty.

The business impact of a Reliable Website
When an application introduced from an application store is launched clients anticipate that it should open, whether or not they're connected to the internet. Progressive Web Apps ought to be the same.
At the very least, a straightforward disconnected page that tells the client the application isn't accessible without an organization association ought to be served. Then, at that point, consider making the experience a stride further by giving some usefulness that bodes well while disconnected. For instance, you could give admittance to tickets or tickets, disconnected lists of things to get, call focus contact data, articles or plans that the client has as of late saw, and so on
