Tada: Instant Webpage Loading, Fast Website Browsing

Tada checks to see if your users are hovering over a link, and then uses the browsers built in prefetching mechanism to prefetch the html for the link that is about to be clicked.

Whilst Tada does speed up the process, it will only reduce the time required to load the page – it won’t elminitate it. This means that heavy pages, and slow web hosts may not appear instantly. In addition, I have found that the WordPress admin interface can be quite slow and so the best experience happens for users who are logged out. I use the Incognito mode in my browser to test this.

Most WordPress themes will work fine with Instant Pages, however there are a few that may not. These are themes that use javascript to link to internal pages. For instance if the theme is built with React or Vue (or similar) then it may not work (but equally – probably isn’t needed). Also if the theme applies transitions to page loads (such as fading in and out) then you may not see an improvement. However these are specialist cases, and most themes will work great.
