Speed up the loading of the NEXT page your visitors will go to.
How to use
Edit each page or post, and modify the Next Page Caching Settings below the content editor. Some caching methods are done automatically – like caching the first blog post while browsing your blog page.
Will this automatically cache all the “next pages”?
This plugin does not predict / analyze where your visitors will go next
The plugin doesn’t have any statistical methods or analytics in it. It relies on you to supply what the “next page” is and it uses that to perform the caching.
You’ll have to edit your posts and pages and adjust the Next Page Caching settings.
How will I know what the correct “next page” is?
You can use analytics tools like Google Analytics, where you can find out the behavior of your visitors while browsing your site.
For example, if you find that a majority of your visitors in your front page check out the pricing page, then pick your pricing page as the “next page”. The visitors who navigate from your front page to your pricing page should see some speed benefits.
How much speed benefits will this bring?
You can probably expect an loading time decrease to the next page anywhere from 100ms to 500ms depending on the situation.
However, the benefits with this plugin is less on the page loading time, but it’s more on the page interactivity time – the next page will feel faster since the critical parts prioritized during loading and the visitor can interact with the page sooner. This is opposed to the visitor waiting on a white screen while waiting for the page, featured image, or Google Fonts to finish loading.
Since we’re essentially loading parts of the next page within the current page, normal speed testing tools like YSlow, Pingdom Tools or GTMetrix will not show much difference – those only test the speed of the current page you’re at. What you need is to test the speed from transitioning between one page to the next.
You can open an incognito window, disable caching and check the network tab while navigating through your site.
Do I need to deactivate the current caching plugin I’m using?
No. Do not replace your current caching plugin with this one, use this one together with your existing plugin.
Can I use this with WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, etc?
Yes! You can use this plugin alongside those without any problems. This plugin is not meant to replace your current caching plugin.
