Introduction Video

Description

Speed up page-to-page navigation with smart, predictive prefetching to improve conversions.

Smart Prefetch uses real-time browsing behavior and modern browser speculation rules to predict the next page a visitor is likely to view—then preloads it in the background. This reduces perceived load times between product and checkout pages, creating a faster, smoother shopping experience. Faster sites improve user engagement, lower bounce rates, and improve conversions—helping merchants do more sales without complex setup.
