<p>This plugin creates a new menu location on your site. This location is not actually seen but consists of a list of url’s which are linked in the HEAD section of your site. These urls are automatically prefetched and or rendered by compatible browsers. Thus speeding the user experience for visitors when they proceed on to those pages in your site.</p>

<p>This plugin does only one thing: it allows you to prerender specific pages / posts on your WordPress site.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://developers.google.com/chrome/whitepapers/prerender" rel="nofollow ugc">prerendering</a> feature which will make your website faster, as the browser will fetch and render the entire next page on the background.</p>
<p>Therefore, if you know which page your visitors are most likely to visit next, you can preload it. The User Experience (UX) will therefore be slightly better.</p>
<h4>Getting Started</h4>
<p>If you want more in-depth explanations, we’ve written a mini-tutorial on our blog: <a href="https://themeavenue.net/behavior-flow-faster-wordpress/" rel="nofollow ugc">Behavior Flow: Speed Up Your WordPress Site</a></p>

<li>Firstly, you need to determine how your users traverse and interact with your site. Simply <a href="https://www.google.com/analytics/web/#home/" rel="nofollow ugc">sign in to Google Analytics</a> and go to the Behavior Flow page (<a href="https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2785577?hl=en" rel="nofollow ugc">Analytics Help</a>).</li>
<li>Login to your WordPress site, install and activate this plugin.</li>
<li>Edit the page where most visitors land (<em>most likely your homepage</em>).</li>
<li>Scroll down to the meta box “Page to Prerender” and select the next page from the dropdown menu (the one that most visitors will browse next).</li>
<li>Hit the “Update” button!</li>
</ol>
<h4>Cons</h4>
<p>Enabling page prerendering will likely increase server load. You should figure out a good balance between prerendering and increasing the server load. Visitors that land on your site will request the entire next page even if they do not visit it…</p>
