Shoppers using mobile devices for in-store purchases make +50 percent of all eCommerce site active buyers. This mobile segment of your target audience often doesn’t complete their orders leaving carts abandoned. Why? Sometimes, the mobile version of your online store/marketplace is overloaded or works slowly. Often, not all mobile devices are capable to reproduce your page correctly. They distort the overall look-n-feel of your store making it absolutely unfriendly and difficult to search through and buy from it.
You may lose your mobile-segment potential buyers even without knowing that. In this post, we’ll examine how to fix these issues with cutting-edge PWA and SPA technologies.
