Previously, we talked about web applications, and many people are already familiar with them. However, there’s another term that you might have come across: Progressive Web Application (PWA). If you’re not in the IT industry, this term might be a bit confusing. So today, let’s explore what a Progressive Web Application is.
What is a Progressive Web Application (PWA)?
A PWA transforms a regular website into something that closely resembles a native app in terms of appearance, speed, and functionality. PWAs are developed to adapt their display based on the device being used, whether it’s a desktop, mobile, or tablet.
Key Characteristics of Progressive Web Applications
- Reliable – PWAs are dependable and can function even in unstable network conditions.
- Fast – Speed is a priority, ensuring quick responses to user interactions.
- Engaging – Users can interact with PWAs similarly to native apps.
Some may wonder: “Why not just download an app instead?”, according to statistics and user behavior, people are often reluctant to download new apps due to device storage limitations, personal usage habits, and app popularity. Many users still prefer browsing websites, whether it’s their go-to platforms like Google or Facebook or exploring new sites. Because of this, PWAs have become crucial, nearly replacing traditional web apps.
Differences Between PWAs and Regular Web Applications
- Works Offline – PWAs store some user data locally, allowing them to function even without an internet connection, though with certain limitations.
- Faster Performance – PWAs load pre-stored data, making them significantly faster than standard web apps.
- Full-Screen Display – PWAs run in full screen without the browser’s navigation bar, providing an immersive experience similar to native apps.
- App-Like Functionality – PWAs can create home screen shortcuts, send push notifications, and receive constant updates to reduce errors. If a web app has a separate native application, both versions often maintain a similar design for a seamless user experience.
The Goal of PWA Development
The core principle behind PWAs is “an app that anyone can access.” Developers continuously refine PWAs to keep them modern, widely accessible, and aligned with the growing demand for Progressive Web Applications.
However, developing a PWA is more complex than building a regular web app. Apart from optimizing resource consumption, PWAs must integrate seamlessly with a brand’s existing applications. A well-structured development team, including UX/UI designers, plays a crucial role in ensuring smooth user experiences. Additionally, backend processes can be challenging, as they must be tailored to each client’s specific requirements.
