What PushEngage does
Browser push notifications with segmentation, drip campaigns and cart abandonment triggers.
It sits in the notifications part of a WordPress stack and is sold by PushEngage on a freemium basis. We recommend it in our notifications guides because it does that one job well without asking you to rebuild the rest of the site around it.
Every plugin adds work to a page request, so treat this as a decision with a cost. Record a speed test before you install it and run the same test afterwards, on the same page, so you know exactly what it charged you.
