What is a PWA (progressive web app)?

A progressive web app (PWA) is a website built to behave more like an app — it can be added to a phone's home screen, work partly offline, and feel fast and app-like, all without an app-store download.

What PWAs can do

• •Be 'installed' to a home screen.
• •Load fast and work in poor connectivity.
• •Send notifications (with permission).

Do you need one?

For most small-business sites, a fast, well-built regular website is plenty. PWA features shine for apps people use repeatedly. Start with a great website; consider PWA extras only if your customers would genuinely use them.
