    Progressive Web Apps, facilitating the use of the application on any device regardless of the operating system or the device configuration, has expanded its boundary, subsequently broadening the client reach. Higher customer reach can prompt more prominent lead conversion- the ultimate motive of a business.

    Another reason behind the expansion is its amazing website-like performance including tremendous speed, comprehensiveness, and effective dataflow, making it eligible for the Search Engine Optimisation to be found. The native application, on the other hand, is difficult to discover as its data cannot be used for SEO purposes, hence, in order to get found it needs to be based on some exceptional idea.

  • App Store Dependency

    A successful launch of an application comes with a lot of challenges, including targeting the right audience, developing the app for the dedicated platforms i.e. Android and iOS, and abiding by the app store guidelines, failing it can prompt app rejection. Not only this, even if your app gets accepted then you are compelled to share approx 30% of your App revenue to the App Store in the face of the App store commission.

  • App-like Look and Feel

    According to a survey done on Amazon in March 2019, 85% of eCommerce activity was done over the app rather than the website, Statista.

    The demand for the mobile app has always overshadowed the websites. Users admire the native applications for numerous reasons, such as its extremely understandable interface, facility to use it offline as well as a personalized experience.

    Progressive Web App (PWA), combining the best of both worlds that is the Application and the website, has come out as a victor for the users,. astounding them by delivering the same look and feel as the native application and the flawless performance like the website.

  • Hassle-free Experience for the Users

    The most important thing about Progressive Web App is the hassle-free experience offered by the application to the user. With the PWA, the user need not worry about downloading the application, optimizing the memory, data usage, or seeking app permission to connect to your business. Users can quickly jump to the browser, launch the website, and proceed with the desired services. A good experience leads to higher customer retention, thereby benefiting your business.

  • More Security

    As you know, in order to minimize the risk and enhance the security over the internet, Google has made a switch from HTTP to HTTPS(secure), making it compulsory for the publishers to switch their website too, failing which the access to the website is denied with a warning message. Hence, in order to successfully execute over the web browser, the Progressive Web App also uses HTTPS, offering a secure experience to the user as well as the business. Hence, with PWAs, you need not stress over the security of your data and connection anymore.
