Progressive web apps combine the features offered by most modern browsers with the benefits of mobile experience. These apps provide a number of benefits over the traditional or native web apps. Here’s what all you can expect from a progressive web app:

Faster loading:

Progressive web apps utilize tools such as service workers, instant app pages, application shells etc. These tools eliminate the problem of slow loading interfaces. This further results in fast conversions, deflated bounce rates, and increased engagement for the companies using these apps.

Responsive design:

As mentioned earlier, progressive web apps are regular websites that look like mobile applications. Since they have a responsive design, so, they offer all the benefits of a website while giving a feel of an app. Also, progressive apps are indexable by search engines and can be accessed using URLs.

Can be accessed even when offline:

Unlike the websites that are not accessible without the internet, progressive web applications can be accessed even without the internet. This is possible due to the data saving feature of these apps. The saved data can be used to access the previously visited pages. In case a user accesses a page that was not viewed earlier, a custom page is displayed so as to avoid any hindrance.

Easy installation:

When it comes to installing apps, the process is a bit tedious. From visiting the app store to finding the app to tapping through all the options can be a painstaking task. However progressive apps eliminate this process and can be found with normal URLs and Google search.
