Benefits of Progressive web Apps:
No load time- Progressive web applications are available instantly.
Responsive- The primary concern of all app developers and designers is to offer responsive apps on all devices such as mobile, desktop, laptop, and tablet.
Progressive web apps are equally responsive on all the devices.
Progressive- As the name suggests, these web apps are progressive. These are built with progressive enhancement and can work on any browser.
App shell mode- You can build progressive web apps on app shell technology and hence they deliver an app like feel to the users.
User engagement- With specific features like push notifications, progressive web apps are highly user engageable.
Size and Auto update- As discussed the average size of mobile apps is 30 MB to 200 MB. However, the progressive apps are within some KBs. Besides, due to Service Workers, these apps are updated automatically.
Works offline- There are some situations when an app is needed urgently, but the user does not have an internet connection. This problem is resolved in progressive web apps. Again the Service Workers are a saviour! They act as a network proxy. Whenever a page is requested, Service Workers tries to access that content from the cache.
