Description

¿What is Prerender and Prefetch? Nice question. It’s a new-navigators technique (ok i’m a liar, Mozilla do it from 2003!) that loads in background the next page you believe the visitor is going to visit.

This plugin puts the required metatag in your WordPress pages, based on settings you can change, allowing those compatible navigators to do a pre-load of the next page. When the visitor try to visit that page Boom! it just appears without need to wait for it!

Testing Prerender and Prefetch Support in your navigator

You can test here Chrome’s prerender with any page.

Install and after install

*When installing, remember to set the server’s load limit on settings.

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin to your plugins directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
  3. Configure the server’s maximum load (because of pre-load can increase the server’s load, you have to configure a limit where Prerender and Prefetch will be off)
  4. Enjoy! Go fast!

  2. When you go from one page to another that is prerender it takes like... ¿300ms? it's just a blink (Test done with Chrome's Browser with prerender activated in browser and in page, configured for that link to being prerendered (be in blog page->post number 1), and with the plugin not limited by server load.)
