## Description ##

**[Frontity](https://frontity.com/?utm_source=plugin-repository&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=plugin-description)** (or WordPress PWA) is a plugin that adds a Progressive Web App (PWA) theme for mobile visitors to your site.

Suitable for **blogs and news sites**, this theme makes your site faster and more engaging on mobile devices.

A Progressive Web App (PWA) theme is a great way to improve site performance and offer an outstanding mobile experience for your users as it combines the best of mobile web and the best of mobile apps.

You can use web push notifications, let users experience instant loading times, swipe between articles, access your site from the home screen, among many things. This way, Frontity helps you increase **user engagement**, **page views** per session, retention, and boost **revenue**.

In addition, Frontity combines the power of PWA technologies with Google AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages). You can enable this feature on your mobile site without any extra configuration and enjoy both PWA and AMP benefits.

### How does Frontity work? ###

* **Keep your desktop theme**: Frontity is a Progressive Web App (PWA) theme for mobile visitors, which means that your desktop theme does not change and will continue to show for your non-mobile visitors.

* **Same URL**: Frontity uses the same URL as your regular theme. When a visit comes from a mobile device, it automatically loads the PWA theme.

* **Control what to display**: you can choose what to display in your menu (lists of posts, pages, categories) and exclude specific URLs from being loaded into the PWA theme.

* **Customize appearance**: change colors, your logo, link styles, size of featured images, and other graphic elements to match your blog’s identity.

* **The latest PWA technologies**: we use the latest JavaScript Frameworks (ReactJS) to deliver the best progressive web apps experiences.

### Features ###

* **Google AMP support**: you can easily enable this feature on your Progressive Web App theme without any extra configuration and enjoy both PWA and AMP benefits.

* **Instant loading**: Our PWAs themes are optimized to make your site load in less than one second and keep users engaged with your site.

* **Horizontal swipe & infinite scroll**: horizontal and infinite scrolling allow your users to instantly navigate between posts, categories or pages improving their reading experience.

* **Regular updates**: your Progressive Web App theme will be automatically updated every time we release a new version with improvements and fixes. You don’t need to do anything.

* **GDPR Compliance**
