Q: What is Smart Preloading and how to set up

<h3 id="iwhatissmartpreloading">I. What is Smart Preloading</h3> Smart Preloading is a technique called Predictive Preloading also. By consuming data from google analytics, we analyze this mathematical data to predict the user's behavior and dynamically create a predictive model that can be used to smartly prefetch only what the user is likely to need. For instance, it predicts the most likely page a user is going to visit next on a site or which link is most likely to be clicked, so simply the app prefetch resources only when they are likely to be needed, and deliver the page instantly to users without waiting time. From that, it increase users' happiness when they experience shopping on your site. For example: We suppose that we have a website with three pages - home, policy, and contacts. Also, we suppose that from Google Analytics we know that there's 90% chance the user to visit the policy page from the home page and only 10% chance to go to the contacts page. In this case, while the user is in the home page we can download/prefetch all the resources from the policy page so that the user's subsequent navigation could be as quick as possible. This technique is known as prefetching. When we're performing prefetching based on a prediction for the user's behavior we're applying predictive prefetching. Based on Google Analytics report, it will select which pages on your site are very likely the user clicks or hovers to preload, so there might be some small resources/ pages on the

Question 6

Understanding Smart Preloading and how top companies uses it to speed up their sites

Accepted Answer

Why using Smart Preloading?

eBay observed that, by implementing preloading, the Median Above Fold Time reduced from 1.2 seconds to 0.39 seconds. They also noticed a positive impact on conversion from preloading.

After preloading was implemented, Netflix was able to reduce Time To Interactive by 30%.

Italian sports portal Virgilio Sport uses service workers to prefetch the most popular posts in their home page. As a result of this, over 3 weeks of observation Virgilio Sport witnessed load times for navigation to articles improve 78%, and the number of article impressions increases by 45%.

How it works?

By consuming data from an analytics source, such as Google Analytics, Swift enables your store to prefetch resources only when they are likely to be needed. This can make subsequent navigations appear to load instantly.

For example, we have a website with three pages - home, about, and collections. Also, let us suppose that from Google Analytics data we predict that there's a 95% chance the user to visit the collections page from the home page and only a 5% chance to go to the about page. In this case, while the user is on the home page we can download all the resources from the collections page so that the user's subsequent navigation could be as quick as possible.

When we're performing preloading based on a prediction for the user's behavior we're applying smart preloading.
