Make your Website work like FIRE, Progressive Web Application(PWA)

Do you know that there are more than 2 Billion websites on the World Wide Web, but less than 400 Million sites are Active. And unexpectedly 11.8 Million websites rank in Google Search Engine Result Pages(SERP’s).
Indeed, almost all of these 11.8 Million websites uses Best Search Engine Optimization (SEO) tactics which defended the 400 Million sites. Important Search Engine Optimization techniques involves
Improved UX/UI
Keywords used on Website
Responsive Web Design
Backlinks from Proficient Websites/Blogs
Content Management
Meta Tags
If these 6 elements played as Professional can lead a website into SERP’s, but is this all we do to serve Best User Interface to our customers, is this all we do to our website that has the capability to attract new customers, probably no, we have to Improve the Mobile First Experience, Improve Page Speed, make it work offline, in-short give powerful vitamins to our Website.
Yes, once we convert our Traditional Website into Progressive Web Application, our website can be directly installed into any Android device, we can also use Web Push Notification functionality on our websites, which can be the greatest benefit to attract potential customers.
Progressive Web Application does lot more than expected, these are some of the top companies that has PWA
Starbucks
Make My Trip
Uber
Twitter
You tube
Spotify
Now, let’s dig in more deep into this subject.
The word FIRE as I have mentioned in the title, releases its explanation —
F — Fast
I — Integrate
R — Reliable
E — Engaging
FAST —
Almost 53% of users abandon our website, if our website loads for more than 4 seconds, this is the destructive thing for a website which has amazing UI but takes time to load, there we fall down.
And here, we have to focus on the Speed of Website, make it as easy as possible to render functions and elements, show up images, and all related stuff.
INTEGRATE —
Here, Integrate in the sense, the user shouldn’t even think about the fact that they are on the web, they must feel our Web App as other mobile apps. Trying to keep a user in a flow, let him work with our application freely.
Integrate your application in such a way that they must feel safe and much reliable into our website.
RELIABLE —
Users don’t bother to try to browse for a web application when they have slow or no network connection, we need to change this Perception. Web Apps must load when there is no network connection. User expects to load, and this generates Reliability among user and web app.
ENGAGING —
Content Management, Customer Reviews and feedbacks, Attractive Images keeps our potential web visitors Engaging into website. And more the time they spend on website, more likely to convert a visitor into customer.
We have to keep on writing engaging content on our websites which is crucial for today’s internet world.
Lastly, we would look at the important benefits of PWA-
Engages mobile users
Works on No network connectivity
Much cheaper and easy to install
Fast
Installable on Android Devices
Fast rendering of components
Look at Portfolio Website which has all the capabilities and powers, and thus is a PWA.
Thank You!
