By predicting which pages users are likely to visit next, it reduces perceived load times and boosts engagement. It leverages advanced **speculative loading techniques** to preload internal links, optimize interactions, and enhance Core Web Vitals. Easily configure settings to enable preloading for specific post types, popular pages, and custom URLs. ### Features * Enable or disable speculative loading with a toggle. * Define custom speculation rules for prefetching content. * Add up to 2 custom URLs for speculative prefetching/prerendering. * Choose allowed post types for custom URL inclusion. * Add up to 1 custom URLs post/page specific for speculative prefetching/prerendering. * Exclude specific URLs from being prefetched/prerendered to save server resources. * SEO-optimized and Core Web Vitals-friendly. * Seamlessly works with other popular plugins. * User-friendly admin interface for easy configuration. ### Note * Currently, this feature is only supported on Chromium-based browsers running version 121 or later. We plan to gracefully introduce support for other browsers as they begin to adopt speculation rules. ### Usage 1. Navigate to **Speculative Page Loader** in admin menu. 2. Configure your speculative loading rules and plugin options. 3. Save your settings. 4. The plugin will begin prefetching resources based on your configured rules. ## Screenshots * [[ * Plugin Settings Panel – Customize speculation rules easily from the admin interface. ## Installation 1.

Speculative loading is a technique where a website **prefetches or prerenders resources** a user might access next. It improves performance by reducing load times for future page requests. ### How does this plugin improve performance? It reduces perceived load times by prefetching and prerendering pages based on user behavior and your custom rules, delivering a faster browsing experience. ### How Speculative Loading Affects CPU & Storage? **Prefetch**: Downloads resources (HTML, CSS, JS) and stores in memory/disk cache— low CPU, moderate RAM/disk use. **Prerender**: Fully renders the page in the background— high RAM/CPU usage since it builds the full DOM + JS execution. ### Does this improve SEO or Core Web Vitals? Absolutely. Faster loading pages improve user experience and positively impact SEO and Core Web Vitals. ### Can I control what resources are prefetched? Yes! You can include/exclude specific post types and URLs using the built-in settings panel. ### Is it compatible with multilingual or other popular plugins? Yes, it works smoothly with most major plugins. ### Will speculative loading slow down my site? No. It is designed to improve performance by loading resources intelligently, only when beneficial. ### I’m having trouble with the speculation rules script loading — what should I do? One common cause is caching interference. If your site uses a caching plugin, clear its cache to allow the speculation rules script to load correctly. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Speculative Page Loader – Prefetch and Prerender” is open source software.
