Progressive Web App (PWA)
Progressive Web App (PWA)
The PWA (Progressive Web App) score in Google Lighthouse is a metric that measures how well a website meets the criteria of being a progressive web app. A progressive web app should feel and behave like a native mobile app, providing features such as push notifications, home screen installation, and full-screen mode.
The PWA score is based on several factors:
- If the site is Fast and reliable
- If the site is installable
- If the site is PWA Optimised (e.g. has a splash screen)
Google Lighthouse evaluates these aspects and assigns a PWA score based on how well a website meets the criteria. The score ranges from 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating better compliance with progressive web app standards.
