AThe coming PWA (Progressive Web Apps) revolution is arguably one of the single most talked about paradigm shifts in technology, at least as far as the internet is concerned. PWA is gaining unparalleled momentum amongst the most forward-looking e-commerce sites on the web. This is partly due to the fact that the hitherto unattainable dream of installing web applications on a smartphone is fast becoming a reality. But what is all this hype about? Let us take a quick look.
The coming PWA (Progressive Web Apps) revolution is arguably one of the single most talked about paradigm shifts in technology, at least as far as the internet is concerned. PWA is gaining unparalleled momentum amongst the most forward-looking e-commerce sites on the web. This is partly due to the fact that the hitherto unattainable dream of installing web applications on a smartphone is fast becoming a reality. But what is all this hype about? Let us take a quick look.
- What is PWA all About?
Imagine if the World Wide Web was integrated with the ‘state of the art’ cutting-edge smartphone app technology and both these platforms had a clone child. This is basically what PWA is all about. It enables the web page UK Meds to behave in a manner that is more analogous to an app that has been downloaded directly from the device’s App Store. In a nutshell, it will start as a normal run of the mill web page in your smart device’s browser, but as you start exploring the webpage, you will get a prompt if you would like to “Add (the page) to your Home Screen”. And if you tap the ‘yes, I agree’ icon, then the PWA enabled web page will be added to your smartphone. And when you open it from your device’s home screen, it will have the capacity to effectively hide all of the browser UI controls and actually appear as a bona fide smart app.
- PWA: The Ultimate Solution to Ever-Increasing Bounce Rates
If you were to think of PWA as a sort of a glorified bookmark of the kind that has found the best spot between mobile apps and the web, you will not be wide off the mark.
The World Wide Web has always wanted the kind of reliable performance that is ‘par for the course’ where smart device apps are concerned. To make it really effective and complete the seamless transition from the PC monitor screen to the home screen of a smartphone, it has to have a place in the device’s notification tray and also on its home screen just like the ubiquitous ‘smart device app’. There is sound marketing reasoning behind this. Almost half of the web’s users these days tend to ‘bounce’ from any site that does not open within 3 seconds, at most. This is why PWA is considered to be the optimal solution for this ever growing “Web Obesity Epidemic” that is currently being faced by web users all over the world.
Its importance stems from the fact that people don’t really like downloading apps every few hours. They would rather have a web page that acts as an app without hogging up their device’s precious memory.
