Developing a High-Performance Progressive Web App to Accelerate Mobile Conversions for Retailers

The client faces slow mobile load times leading to high bounce rates, poor reengagement, and inconsistent shopping experiences across devices. Limited capabilities for reengaging users originating from mobile searches or ads result in missed growth opportunities, ultimately reducing conversions and user retention. Additionally, the mobile checkout process is sluggish, contributing to abandoned carts and lost revenue.

A mid-sized retail company specializing in furniture and home goods, aiming to enhance its mobile eCommerce platform for increased engagement and conversions.

• Reduce load times across key user journeys by at least 11.6%, ensuring faster access to product pages and checkout processes.
