Preload Links on Hover

Updated over 3 weeks ago

FlyingPress can preload pages when users hover over links, improving perceived speed and making navigation feel instant.

How it works

We use browser-native speculation rules to prefetch the next page as soon as the user hovers over a link. This allows the content to start loading in the background before the actual click, reducing wait time.

What we exclude

FlyingPress intelligently skips preloading for:

  • .php pages

  • WordPress admin, login, and system paths

  • URLs with query parameters

  • WooCommerce cart, checkout, and logout pages

This ensures that only useful, cacheable pages are preloaded - avoiding unnecessary server load or unwanted behavior.

Disabling WordPress native rules

FlyingPress disables WordPress’s default speculation rules (added in newer versions) to prevent conflicts and give full control over what gets preloaded.
