Benefits await without Polyfils

Even if you don't polyfil the add to homescreen behavior, your web application will see user engagement gains on iOS and other non-PWA platforms. Many companies are publicly sharing their improvements in various progressive web application case studies.

Wego, an online air travel booking service, reported a 50% increase in conversions and 35% longer sessions on iOS. Mynet increased page views by 15%, and a 23% lower bounce rate on iOS. Lanc?me increased iOS sessions by 53%. These are just a small sampling of positive progressive web application case studies.

These companies are reaping the rewards of PWAs on iOS because, by nature, properly architected websites perform better. Plus, creating a progressive web application forces you to put the customer first, not the developer. When you do this, you create a better user experience, which directly correlates to improved key performance indicators.

Following progressive web application guidelines forces you to deliver a user first experience that works across all platforms.
