PWA

What is a PWA?

Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) are installable web applications that offer a native app–like experience using web technologies. They’re fast, work offline, load instantly, and eliminate friction across devices.

PWAs combine the flexibility of the web with the performance and UX of native apps—making them ideal for ecommerce brands seeking mobile performance without maintaining separate iOS/Android builds.
