Boost Your Online Store's Conversion Rate with Lightning-Fast PWA

Frequently Asked Questions

• Admin Panel Changes Post-PWA Implementation

  From the store administrator's perspective, very little will change. The admin panel and all integrations with external systems remain the same, and the store continues to operate on the same server.

• What is a Single Page Application (SPA)?

  A Single Page Application (SPA) allows the store's website to load only the necessary data without refreshing the entire page. For example, when a customer navigates between products, only the product information is loaded, not the entire website. This prevents the need to repeatedly download sections like the category menu, banners, and footer, improving speed and user experience.

• What if my software is not supported?

  Please contact us. Our company can handle individual projects and integrate with any ERP and e-commerce system.

• Where is PWA Located?

  To ensure optimal PWA performance, a complex infrastructure and server configuration are required. We have determined that the best approach is to run PWAs on our servers, which are specifically optimized for speed. This means you no longer need to worry about your store's performance in any situation, as this responsibility is managed by us.

  The physical location of your PWA can be coordinated with us. We offer the flexibility to host your PWA in Europe, America, or any other country. We can also integrate CDN networks for enhanced performance. Your store's backend will continue to operate as usual on your server.

• What Technology Do We Use?

  From the PWA side, our scripts are written in React. For server-side rendering (SSR), we use the GatsbyJS framework, which is optimized for SEO by default. We have invested significant effort to further enhance its SEO optimization.

  Additionally, we can utilize other frameworks to meet our clients' specific needs, ensuring flexibility and customization in our solutions.

• How Long Will Implementation Take?

  The implementation timeline varies based on the complexity and customization requirements:

  • PWA Demo: Opening the PWA demo takes approximately 5 minutes.
  • Standard Setup: With a ready-made graphic design and standard setup without custom modules, the PWA can be launched within 1 day.
  • Customized Setup: For non-standard graphics and specific requirements, the implementation time ranges from 2 weeks to a couple of months, depending on the project's complexity.

• Is it Safe?

  At Blink-cart.com, we prioritize the safety of our system with two key architectural principles:

  • Limited Access to Your Store Database: We only require minimal API access to create a product catalog and authenticate customers. This means we do not have access to your store database. Consequently, even if our servers were compromised, your database would remain secure because we simply do not have the credentials to access it.
  • Robust and Flexible Infrastructure: Our infrastructure is designed for maximum resilience. Even though we use renowned data centers, and in the unlikely event that all our servers and backup servers were to fail simultaneously, our system is flexible enough to quickly disable the PWA and restore the original operation of your store.

  Additionally, our headless infrastructure enhances security by isolating the frontend of your store. From the moment of integration, you are protected from attacks exploiting frontend vulnerabilities, which are common in platforms like WooCommerce, Magento, and PrestaShop. Many store owners face issues due to delayed updates, leaving their stores vulnerable to automated attacks seeking known vulnerabilities. With our approach, such risks are significantly mitigated.

  General Safety of Headless Infrastructure

  Headless infrastructure offers several security benefits:

  • Isolation of Frontend and Backend: By decoupling the frontend from the backend, headless systems reduce the attack surface. Potential vulnerabilities in the frontend do not directly expose backend data and processes.
  • Reduced Vulnerability to Common Attacks: Traditional platforms often face security issues from outdated plugins or themes. Headless architecture, focusing on API endpoints, can minimize these risks as it relies on more controlled and secure API interactions.
  • Enhanced Scalability and Redundancy: Headless systems can leverage multiple servers and data centers for various components, ensuring high availability and quick recovery from any failures or attacks.
  • Customizable Security Measures: Since the frontend is independent, it allows for the implementation of customized security protocols tailored to specific needs without affecting backend operations.

  Overall, headless infrastructure like that employed by Blink-cart.com provides a more secure, flexible, and resilient environment for your e-commerce operations.

• What is Needed to Create a Demo?

  To create a demo, we need access to the REST API of your online store. Specifically, we require "read" ("GET") access to the product catalog, product categories, and CMS pages.
