Why offline-first UX increases conversions
Research5 novembre 2024•1 min de lecture•Par l'équipe PWASK
Case studies and metrics showing how PWAs reduce drop-off and improve completion rates by hiding network jitter and safely queuing submissions.
Offline-first UX reduces abandonment by preventing blank screens and failed submissions. Users feel the app is “always responsive,” even in poor coverage.
Why it works
- Predictable speed: Cached shells load instantly, masking jitter.
- Safe forms: Drafts persist locally; submissions retry until confirmed.
- Lower friction: No app-store hop; install is one tap.
What to measure
- First Input Delay + Time to Interactive on slow 3G.
- Form completion rate in low-connectivity regions.
- Repeat visits from installed users vs. web-only.
A/B ideas
- Compare queue-enabled forms vs. network-only forms.
- Measure completion with and without local drafts.
- Track repeat visits post-install prompt acceptance.
PWASK includes precaching, background sync, and install prompts out of the box.
