Scope of Google Progressive Web Apps?

If we consider the future of web development, it has a long way to go, but there are other aspects of it, which need to be looked into.

The applications that provide a friendly and smart user interface and curbs the need and requirement to download the application is termed as a Progressive Web Application. The Web Application Development Services are advancing the options and choices for the web application and mobile users each day. The customer-centric or user-centric approach is the most prominent approach that is fruitful for the company as well as the developers. 

You can talk about the best PWA Development Company and learn about the best benefits of choosing to build a PWA for your business and customers. They will tell you how Google Progressive Web Apps future will unfold.

Here in this article, we are going to discuss the scope of PWAs.

Extension to Responsive Web Applications

You must have heard about RWA which is the short form of Responsive Web Applications and Android Instant Applications. The PWAs are the advanced level of these mobile app genres.

When we talk about the advanced features that it accompanied then we are going to say that PWA follows the former approach and adds on its own features to continue the legacy. The Responsive Web Applications focus on user engagement and experience.

The PWAs have enhanced these features such that they are progressive in nature. They are convenient for the users since they are able to enjoy the native application features on any device.

Android Instant Apps and PWA

Android Instant Apps is a technology used for mobile development and it provides users beautiful apps containing the material design and the users do not need to install them on their device. Similarly, the PWAs is another endeavor by Google which provides the app-like experience to its users by deploying the advanced web techniques and capabilities.

Comparison Between RWAs and PWAs

The RWAs are a cumulation of three techniques and the PWAs, on the other hand, are a cumulation of multiple technologies. 

  • RWA provides software that provides a tailored user experience.
  • The website is crafted to optimize the user’s browsing experience and to provide comfort irrespective of the device they are using their app on.
  • Its concept is based on media queries,  flexible widths, and images. 

The Progressive Web Applications utilize web APIs and design concepts that are together responsible for providing an app-like experience to its users. 

  • They provide better user retention and ultimately a better market to the app owners. Otherwise, the possibility of a user returning to the website the other day is very less. 
  • The time consumed in installing downloading and starting a new application on phone leads to a decline in the number of users. This challenge is faced by the PWAs that eliminate the need to install and download the application. 
  • The users can simply browse and use the application and they are surely going to experience great performance. 
  • The mobile application maintenance is comparatively difficult than that involved in PWAs. This advantage of mobile applications is used well by a PWA.

A PWA Development Company can tell you a lot about the positive sides of a Progressive Web App development that will help to understand its future of the PWA.

Enhanced  App Performance with PWA 

Here we are now going to discuss the various attributes that promise their bright future of the PWA. The browsing experience of the user’s changes in the following mentioned ways when they switch to a PWA:

1. Faster and Seamless

The PWAs are based on service workers. The service workers are the latest technology in the form of scripts that are event-driven and the domain events are accessible to service workers.

These programmable proxies are JavaScript files that operate away from the main browser. They stand between the web and the user’s tab. The network requests are fabricated by service workers in order to provide offline aid and granular caching. Push messages are delivered using this technology. The data gets loaded instantly and is not concerned with the network strength.

Flipkart Lite is a great example of a PWA that provides faster navigation, less data usage, and contains various attributes that actively re-engage the users.

2. Better Engagement

The Progressive Web App technology provides great user engagement because they ask for your permission to update you regularly with useful notifications. Whenever you switch to a PWA you would be prompted to allow them to send you notifications. The ’Add to Home screen’ option is provided by Google. These notifications are useful in accordance with social media handles. 

Even when you aren’t using the page, you would be notified about the important information.  The app gets cached when you choose the home screen option and later you can switch to application directly from your home screen.

A developer can define the web app manifest that allows the browser to open in full-screen mode without any splash screen or address bar. Thus the quality of the web application development services plays a vital role in determining the scope of your PWA. 

Enhanced User Experience

In the end, we would like to talk about the major points that allow a better user experience. We gave a detailed knowledge about the service workers in the above paragraph and they are responsible for providing a streamlined website. They get the app-like experience and the data gets loaded at a fast pace when the network is slow.

This will encourage frequent users to switch to a full app version. You can contact a PWA Development Company that can develop a cross-browser  PWA for your company. This will allow your app users to connect the best of your app with the broad web.

You can access the website that you visited previously with the help of service workers. The cache data is stored in smart ways and that can provide a better user engagement. The Android app development services if provided in a much smarter way using these perks of PWA, can bring great changes and maximum ROI.
