Is a Progressive Web App necessary for optimizing my site?

Hi,

I’ve been trying to optimize my site, and during a lighthouse audit, PWA was brought to my attention. I never heard of Progressive Web App and was wondering if it is necessary for my site?

A progressive web app (PWA) is a type of web application that is designed to provide a native app-like experience to users. PWA’s are built using modern web technologies and are designed to be fast, reliable, and engaging.

Some potential benefits of implementing a PWA on your Shopify site include:

  • Improved performance and faster loading times
  • Enhanced user experience and engagement
  • The ability to work offline or in low connectivity situations
  • The ability to be added to a user’s home screen for easy access
  • The potential for increased conversions and sales

Whether or not a PWA is necessary for your Shopify site will depend on your specific business needs and goals. If you want to provide a more app-like experience to your users and potentially improve the performance and engagement of your site, then implementing a PWA may be worth considering. However, if you are satisfied with the current performance and functionality of your site, then a PWA may not be necessary. It ultimately comes down to what will provide the best experience for your users and support the goals of your business.

Is it hard to set up a PWA? Or can I find it on youtube? lol
