What Are Progressive Web Apps?

PWAs combine the best of web and mobile apps. They are web applications that use modern web capabilities to deliver an app-like experience to users, with features like offline functionality and push notifications.

Key PWA Features

PWAs offer responsive design, connectivity independence, app-like interactions, installability, and linkability. They work on any device and browser, providing consistent user experience.

Building a PWA

Essential components include a web app manifest, service workers for caching and offline functionality, and HTTPS for security. Properly configured PWAs can be installed on user devices.

Benefits of PWAs

PWAs offer faster loading times, reduced data usage, improved user engagement, and cost-effective development compared to native apps. They also provide better SEO compared to native apps.
