1. Progressive
Web App:
Benefits &
Challenges

2. INTRODUCTION
Ever wondered how some apps on your phone open up
with just a single tap while the rest may take ages? And if
the speed of the internet is really crappy then you might
have to wait and wait. Did you know what’s the difference
between those apps on your phone? Well, the ones that
work smoothly even in the “Snail-speed” internet, is
progressive web app or PWA as commonly known.
While the others may be native apps, web apps or hybrid
apps.
It has been just a couple of years since PWA came into
existence and it has drastically improved the way mobile
web operates now. Google was the one to introduce
PWA.

3. What Is PWA?
PWA or progressive web apps are basically a step
towards obscuring out the fringe between native and
mobile web by providing the users uninterrupted and
smooth browsing experience.
In addition, it also waives the purpose of creating
native mobile apps compatible with different OS, for
eCommerce sellers. You can define progressive web
app as something between native apps and website
providing the user with the benefit of both.

4. Features of
PWA

5. Progressive web apps amass the data each time on being used. This feature allows
them to work offline as well.
Minimal loading time even on 2G data or slow internet speed.
Fast page transition and smooth scrolling.
Installable on any device with any OS.
Capability to fit in any screen size.

6. What Are The Benefits
Of Progressive Web
App?

7. Firstly, unlike native apps, web developers don’t have to design progressive web apps for
every OS or suit.
Secondly, eCommerce merchants who are short on capital, don’t have to invest in native
apps that have different frameworks for different OS.
PWA trumps native applications and other web applications because it’s not necessary to
install them. Unlike native apps, you can use progressive web app in any browser like
Chrome, Opera, UC etc. and they will behave just like your native apps to suit the modern
web requirements. This has several advantages.

8. Thirdly, users don’t necessarily have to visit the app store to install the apps externally.
It saves their money as well because they have to buy some of the native apps.
Plus PWA doesn’t need to be updated each time, unlike Native Apps.
PWA is more reliable, It won’t leave the users hanging in uncertain conditions like slow
internet connections. This feature benefits the eCommerce merchants as well.

10. The Challenges with
Progressive Web Apps

11. Need Of Expert Developers:
First of all you will need developers who have a strong grip
on the “React” framework.
Developing progressive web apps is a tedious process as
you must be aware that PWA is not actually a website but
a large-scale app that has the liquidity to fit to every screen
size and be compatible on every OS or suit and a robust
frame that doesn’t crash down while supporting a
humongous multi-vendor eCommerce marketplace.

12. Lack Of Omnichannel Vendors:
While you may be on the lookout for an omnichannel
service provider who can handle front-end and back-end
development work, it might be hard for you to find one.
Not having an omnichannel service provider for
developing a progressive web app for your eCommerce
platform and getting services from multiple service
providers will create a problem for you in keeping a track
of the work done by all the service providers.

13. Absence Of Open Source Frame:
No matter which framework you choose, “Angular”
or “React” they both are merely libraries for the
User Interface. You can implement them but can’t
customize them.

14. What And What Not To Cache:
It is very difficult to keep a track of what you can
and what you can’t cache, but regular caching is
necessary hence you will have to be more cautious
while caching any data in PWA.

15. Maintaining updates is a Nutjob:
Unlike native apps that are updated in short time intervals
and the process is continuous, progressive web app can’t
be updated, at least not as frequently as native apps.
Getting full insurance of the changes that may take place in
future in any OS for a PWA is impossible.

16. Time Consuming Integration:
The process of integration can be a very time-consuming
process in regards to the progressive web app. However,
