How Does a PWA Work?
PWAs are powered by advanced web technologies such as Service Workers, Web App Manifests, and HTTPS security. Here’s how they function:
-
Service Workers
These run in the background, caching data and enabling offline access and instant loading even on poor networks.
-
Web App Manifest
Allows users to install the app directly to their home screen with a custom icon, splash screen, and full-screen experience.
-
HTTPS Protocol
Ensures the app’s security, protecting user data and maintaining trust.
-
App Shell Architecture
Keeps essential elements (like the layout and navigation) loaded at all times, making the app lightning-fast and seamless.
Together, these technologies make PWAs fast, secure, reliable, and highly engaging — a smart alternative to native apps.
