What is a PWA?

A Progressive Web App (PWA) is basically just a website with some added features, which enable it to provide an app-like user-experience.

A well-designed PWA is indistinguishable from a native app, but it also offers some strong added benefits:

• It is discoverable by search engines
• It is linkable, so it can be shared via a URL
• It is responsive, so it works on any device
• It is installable, so it can be added to the home screen
• It is network independent, so it works offline
• It is secure, so it is served via HTTPS
• It is re-engageable, so it can send push notifications
• It is fast, so it loads quickly
• It is engaging, so it feels like a native app
