Progressive web apps take the advantage of the larger web ecosystem and plugins and the relative ease of deploying and maintaining the site when compared to the native application in the respective app stores.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_should_You_Use_PWAs_for_Your_OpenCart_Website_Development\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">Why should You Use PWAs for Your OpenCart Website Development?<\/span> <\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0Having a PWA for your OpenCart site helps to take the advantages of faster loading and enjoying the SEO ranking benefits to reduce the needs of data and eliminate the need for an app store to download the application for the mobile devices.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Easily_Accessible\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #003366;\">Easily Accessible:\u00a0<\/span> <\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">One of the most important and significant advantages of having a PWA app is that it can be easily accessed through a web browser. The users don\u2019t have to download the application from Apple or Google Play stores and this of course reduces a significant amount of time while searching for the application and then downloading it in the device.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"box-shadow: 0 0 16px #cccccc; padding: 10px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Also Read:<\/strong> <a href=\"\/blog\/how-adding-online-booking-extensions-can-be-beneficial-for-your-opencart-ecommerce-site\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">How Adding Online Booking Extensions can be Beneficial for Your OpenCart Ecommerce Site<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Enhances_the_SEO_Ranking\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #003366;\">Enhances the SEO Ranking:<\/span> <\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">As the PWA delivers the web content, the search engines view the PWAs and the site as the same and index them completely. And this allows a better ranking with the search engines. But on the other hand, the native apps are not indexed and so they will not affect the SERP. With a great and optimized back linking strategy, you can easily boost the SEO to a higher level.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Highly_Optimized_API_Requests_and_Storage_Space\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #003366;\">Highly Optimized API Requests and Storage Space:<\/span> <\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">PWA when used in OpenCart ecommerce apps, it helps to optimize the API request so that there is no need for massive servers and a large bandwidth to support the application. The mobile device will be able to browse the PWA by using a less mobile data plan and PWA takes less space to store compared to any native application.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Native_Approach_and_Updated_Content\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #003366;\"><strong>Native Approach and Updated Content<\/strong>:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The PWA adopts a native approach like the push notification functionality, even if the web browser is not open. This enables the business to grow and also offer product promotions via the push notification in order to improve the customer engagement.
