The PWA offers enormous advantages right from the Faster Loading and SEO Ranking benefits to reduced data needs and eliminating the need for an app store to download the app for mobile devices. 

Let’s discuss some of the significant advantages of having a PWA. 

Easily Accessible

One of the most significant advantages of having a PWA app is that it can be accessed through a web browser. There is no need to download the application separately from the Google or Apple store. This reduces a significant amount of time in searching for the app and downloading it. 

Offline Mode

The PWA application has a service worker that allows the customer to surf the app even in offline mode or in low network strengths. This is quite a useful feature as not everyone surfing the website will have a good internet connection. 

Enhances SEO Ranking

As the PWA delivers content through the web, the search engines view the PWAs and website as the same and index them completely. But on the other end, the native apps are not indexed and will not affect the SERP. 

With a sound and optimized backlinking strategy can boost the SEO ranking to a whole new level. 

Optimized API requests & Storage Space

The PWA offers a reduced optimized and reduces API request so that there is no need for massive server capacity and a large bandwidth to support the application. The mobile devices will be able to browse the PWA by using the less mobile data plan. 

The PWAs usually take less storage space as compared to the native application. 

Better User Experience

The Progressive Web Application works on the base idea of having a progressive enhancement of the web view that we see of the website. This means that the app focuses on the core content, design layout, and its advanced features. All these combined make the customer experience much useful. 

Offers Native Approach & Up To Date Content

The PWA offers a native approach like the push notification functionality, even if the web browser isn’t open. This will allow the business to boon and offer product promotions with a push notification to improve customer engagement. The content updates automatically as it does on the website, so there is no need to update.
