Progressive Web Apps give you the best of both worlds by creating a browser-based program that incorporates all of these features. PWAs work fullscreen, live on the home page, and harness the full power of device functionality.

Performance

Powerful Features of PWA'S

One of the main characteristics of a Progressive Web App is its capacity to function when the internet connection isn’t stable. The PWA runs a script in the background called a Service Worker, the purpose of this script includes content caching locally, allowing apps to be loaded almost instantly

Always Fresh

Once more, the idea is to put the user first and offer a great experience just like in native apps. Providing up-to-date content is a rudimentary characteristic of PWA’s, which is enabled, again, by Service Workers.

Progressive

As a principle, Progressive Web Apps evolve as the user engages with them. So it means that whether a user is navigating the app with Chrome, Safari or any other browser, the PWA will continuously improve, and moreover, it may also leverage features available on the user’s device and browser.

Responsive

App-like navigation

On practical terms, the Progressive Web Apps imitate the navigation of native apps in order to offer seamless and app-like interactions. For recurring users it means that key elements of the app will be displayed immediately as they are already cached, refining the performance, and the rest of the content will be retrieved during usage.

Discoverable

Perhaps one of the greatest advantages over natives apps is the fundamental characteristic of discoverability of Progressive Web Apps. Naturally, as they are built on web pages, it’s possible to leverage the power of search engines to index and distribute the application over search results.
