What is a progressive Web Application (PWA)

Progressive Web Application (PWA) is a web application that behaves like a mobile application.

It is usually faster and more reliable than regular web applications as it focuses on an offline/cache-first approach. This makes it possible for users to still open our application when they have no or a slow internet connection due to its focus on caching. Also, users can add our application to the home screen of their smartphone or tablet and open it like a  native application.
