Speculative Loading: The Future of Navigation

About this presentation

Speculation can be risky business, but it's worth taking risks for the rewards! With speculative loading, we can predict the future to guess what our users are going to do next, and preload resources to give them a speedier, smoother experience. We'll discuss when you should and shouldn't use speculative loading, and how to choose what to preload. We'll explore what you can do right now across browsers to speed up your page loads and navigations, and take a look at Chrome's new Speculation Rules API and when to use it.
