Page prefetching plugin options

Key Features

  • Quicklinks Integration: Utilizes the Quicklinks library to prefetch critical resources, improving page load times on future navigations.
  • Prerendering Mode: Supports prerendering for links within the viewport, automatically falling back to prefetching if the browser does not support prerendering. This feature is easily toggled on or off based on the site’s needs.
  • Customizable DOM Observation: Allows precise control over which HTML elements to observe for visible links, ensuring that only relevant content is prefetched. This can be configured using classes, IDs, or specific tags.
  • Configurable Delay: This option allows users to set a delay (in milliseconds) before prefetching a link that remains in the viewport, optimizing network usage and resource management.
  • Request Limitations: This option offers settings to limit the total number of prefetch requests, preventing excessive network usage and ensuring a balanced load on your server.
  • Concurrency Control: Defines the maximum number of concurrent prefetch requests, allowing fine-tuning of the plugin’s performance and server resource allocation.
  • Timeout Configuration: Includes options to set a timeout (in milliseconds) for the requestIdleCallback, determining when prefetching should occur to avoid impacting user experience during active use.

This plugin’s comprehensive settings and integration capabilities make it an excellent choice for webmasters seeking to enhance their site’s responsiveness and user experience. Whether you’re managing a small blog or a large e-commerce site, the Page Prefetching plugin can help ensure that your visitors enjoy a fast and efficient browsing experience.
