" summary

Global numbers and concrete wins decide: 3.2 billion people are online but only 1.1 billion have fast access, and Opera Mini compresses 28 PB into 4.5 PB a month to serve users in India, Nigeria and Indonesia. Sites that ship a manifest and build progressive web apps see real gains — Flipkart reports 40% weekly returning visitors, +63% conversions and users spend 3× longer; native app bundles weigh ~460 MB versus ~1 MB cumulative for PWAs. Offline, push and caching come from service workers.
