And technology lovers have left no stone unturned to leverage upon this approach by helping eCommerce store owners grow faster.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are mobile websites, responsive websites, and native apps. All of them have their own advantage. Every website is responsive now (because that\u2019s how it should be); left with only two options. But no, technology aficionados were not done yet. They created a hybrid of mobile websites and native apps: the Progressive Web Apps.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwastats.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Survey of businesses<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> who have actively adopted PWA and how it benefited them:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Commonfloor saw a 2X increase in daily active users and a 10% increase in overall traffic.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Debenhams found that user journey from browsing to purchase was 2x to 4x on its PWA<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hub.tigrenpwa.com\/pwa-examples\/#26_Starbucks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\">Starbucks PWA<\/a> increased its daily traffic users 2x.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treebo launched its PWA and saw a 4x increase in conversion every year.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tinder cut down it\u2019s load time from 11.91 seconds to 4.69 seconds through their PWA<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To have a better understanding of why I am all praise for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fatbit.com\/fab\/progressive-web-apps-best-alternative-native-mobile-apps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">progressive web apps<\/a>, here are a couple of points that\u2019ll impress you too\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They have the best functionalities of both worlds (website and native apps).<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fully functional online as well as offline mode.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PWAs offer better performance in comparison to native apps and websites.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You won\u2019t need the app store\u2019s approval for PWA available for your end-users.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Benefits of PWA for Businesses<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><b>They\u2019re Fast- <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you compare the loading speed of responsive or \u201cm-dot\u201d websites with PWAs, you\u2019ll see the latter emerges a clear winner.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The faster page loading speed is because of integrating accelerated mobile pages (AMPs) with PWAs. As a result, the pages load fast and stay fast. With PWA opening in milliseconds, small page size, and user interaction happening at 60 fps, Google cache loves PWAs.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>They\u2019re Reliable-<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you are like me, you\u2019d like the Chrome Dinosaur only when you want to play the game. Otherwise, it simply means your mobile internet ain\u2019t strong. This particular situation is unfavourable for responsive websites as well as for native apps to connect and reach the end motive.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But that\u2019s not the case with PWAs. Whether you are in an elevator, in a basement, somewhere in the middle of nowhere, PWAs make sure your end users get access to your eCommerce store and shop whenever they want to. Or, at least, see what all you\u2019ve got for them. It\u2019s all about being able to engage customers whenever, wherever you can and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yo-kart.com\/blog\/offer-best-shopping-experience\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">delivering great shopping experience<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apart from these two primary benefits, there are others such as a high conversion and a mobile-first approach.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, there are <\/span>a few challenges you got to deal with while thinking of going full power PWA-oriented<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First of all, PWAs are web applications, very large web applications. You\u2019ll need application architecture for web apps. Secondly, caching is a major issue due to the need for establishing a delicate performance-freshness balance.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Yo!Kart Empowers businesses to become Omni-Present For your Customers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yo!Kart is PWA compliant.
