Why are single page applications in demand?

In this fast-paced world, it is essential to bridge the gap between supply and demand. Similarly, in the digital world, users expect their needs to be met within a few clicks or taps. People can now easily order food online and have it delivered to their homes within the shortest time possible.

This applies to the load time of any mobile or web application as well. If the average load time is longer than users’ expectations, it might cause visitors to bounce and look elsewhere. Here are some statistics from the Aberdeen Group Study that prove the statement mentioned in the previous line.

Every one-second delay in page load time results in the following:

  • 7% decrease in conversions

  • 11% decrease in page views

  • 16% decrease in customer satisfaction

What is SPA?

A single page application is an app that doesn’t require you to reload the page for multiple functionalities. It rewrites the current web page with new data from the web server, instead of the default method of a web browser loading entire new pages. This makes the load time faster than for multi-page applications, saving costs and time for users as well as companies.

Single page application design consists of various approaches. With today’s dynamic market and growing technology stack it becomes difficult to find the right implementation strategy and development goals. At Softweb Solutions, our adept software engineers have knowledge and experience with single page application frameworks. Using pure JS, its combination with React JS development, or other JS frameworks like Angular.js or Vue, we offer tailored solutions for SPA development.

SPA has its own set of advantages and drawbacks. It lacks SEO optimization. However, with new technological advancements and the right approach, this can be easily addressed.
