Speed Brain: Helping web pages load faster (2024)

https://instant.page/ does this via user intent/interactions and pre-fetches the next page.

"Another option is to load the pages when the user starts pressing their mouse without preloading. This makes for zero unused requests while still improving page loads by 80 ms on average."

That's the way I would go. Fast, but not wasteful.

Nice, but if everyone hits the same top 3 pages at once (think Oscar night), you're still fighting the same bottleneck. Faster fetch just means faster contention.

I would want a way to disable this in my browser when I’m on a data-capped plan.
