In the current world of technologies, one of the technology that is currently booming is the PWA. It was introduced by Google in 2015 and since then plenty of websites have adopted this technology. And the result obtained through this are also marvellous.

PWA is a web app, which can be displayed in the form of a regular App on a phone ( platform-independent) and also works like a regular responsive website on the internet.

What does it use?

It consists of Javascript mainly and uses Service Workers, in which the server of the PWA is saved in the user’s web browser and from time to time new feeds are loaded into it. This is the main reason of the speed of a PWA.

The Advantages of building a PWA:

 1. Responsive Layout

3. Add to the Home Screen

4. Acts like a Mobile App

5. Push Notifications

6. Very less memory space

7. Cross Platform
