      Firstly, creating a mobile app via PWA is remarkably easy and quite cost-effective. You don’t require a huge team of developers for your mobile sales channel, or invest huge resources.

      Also, with the mobile-first approach, businesses now know the significance of mobile traffic. As consumers are spending more and more time on smartphones than on computers.

      In a mobile-first approach, the websites are designed as per the need of mobile users first, and then they are adapted for desktop users.

      Mobile-First Indexing

      Google search engine is prioritizing search content based-on mobile-first indexing strategy. This is crucial for site owners as they now need to make changes at their end for getting higher ranking and traffic.

      Earlier, the indexing primarily used the desktop version of a page’s content when evaluating the relevance of a page to a user’s query. But now as the majority of users now access Google Search on a mobile device, so Googlebot first crawls and indexes pages with the smartphone agent.

      No Install, Update, Low Storage, Poor Network

      For customers, Orra Jewellery PWA provides many benefits in comparision to a standard desktop website or a native application. First of all, to download the PWA on a mobile phone, the users don’t need to visit app marketplaces like Google Play or App Store. They can simply visit the website from their mobile browser and find the option – Add to Homescreen.

      Secondly, the application size of a PWA is quite small in comparison to a native app. So this conserves lots of storage space on smartphones. The native apps tend to increase their size with time as more information is stored locally and new updates are installed.

      PWA mobile apps are also beneficial for poor connectivity networks. With the help of service workers, the Orra Jewellery PWA caches the static resources in the background and prepares offline-app experience.

      Building PWA with Webkul Extension

      Webkul offers PWA extensions for all popular e-commerce platforms – Magento, Opencart, WooCommerce, CS-Cart, PrestaShop, and Joomla. With Magento 2 Progressive Web Application (PWA), the merchants can easily provide PWA mobile-app experience to customers.
