Progressive Web App Development Company

Updated on Nov 13, 2025

Build Fast, Reliable, Installable Web Apps Without Separate Platforms

At STS Software, we specialize in Progressive Web App (PWA) development, delivering high-performance applications that combine the best of web and native experiences. Our tailored PWAs enhance user engagement, boost conversions, and streamline your digital presence with seamless offline functionality and lightning-fast load times.

What Is a Progressive Web App?

A Progressive Web App (PWA) is a type of web application built using standard web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It leverages modern web capabilities to provide an app-like experience directly in the browser, without requiring users to download from app stores. PWAs are designed to be responsive, reliable, and engaging, bridging the gap between traditional websites and native mobile apps.

The core pillars of a PWA include:

HTTPS: Ensures secure data transmission, a prerequisite for service workers and other advanced features.
Web App Manifest: A JSON file that defines the app’s metadata, such as name, icons, and display mode, enabling it to be installed on a user’s home screen.
Service Worker: A script that runs in the background, handling caching, offline access, and push notifications.
App Shell and Caching: Provides a minimal UI structure that’s cached for instant loading, with offline support for core functionalities.

PWAs are crucial as they offer hybrid benefits—reaching users across platforms without the need for separate iOS or Android development. They load quickly even on slow networks, reduce data usage, and improve accessibility. From an SEO perspective, PWAs can be fully indexed by search engines when optimized correctly, enhancing discoverability and organic traffic.

According to Google for Developers, PWAs can achieve up to 52% higher conversion rates due to their seamless user experiences. Similarly, Oncrawl’s technical SEO data highlights how PWAs, when built with proper rendering strategies, outperform traditional SPAs in crawler visibility and ranking potential.

SEO Challenges & Best Practices for PWAs

PWAs often face SEO hurdles due to client-side rendering (CSR), where content loads via JavaScript, making it harder for crawlers like Googlebot to index dynamically. On crawl’s technical SEO data notes that unoptimized PWAs can suffer from poor visibility, leading to lower rankings. Built-visible emphasizes issues like duplicate content and slow initial loads.

To counter this, STS Software employs:

SSR / Pre-Render / Hydration Strategies: Server-side rendering or pre-rendering ensures crawlers see full content immediately.
Structured Data and Schema Markup: Adding JSON-LD for rich snippets to improve click-through rates.
Metadata, Canonical Tags, Link ability: Optimizing titles, descriptions, and URLs for better indexing.
Lazy Loading, Caching Strategies, Performance Optimization: Reducing load times to under 5 seconds, boosting Core Web Vitals.
Monitoring and SEO Health Checks: Using tools like Google Search Console for ongoing audits.

Our SEO-integrated approach ensures your PWA ranks highly while maintaining app-like performance.
