Try Gatsby. It can be even faster than this.


Ok, I'll just rewrite my clients' entire website using a trendy, brand new JS framework that is built on top of an ever-changing trendy JS library, requiring the entire site to be compiled from scratch when my client wants to update a title.

Different tools for different projects. Gatsby and Gridsome, or any other static site generator is not comparable to a simple script like this.


Throwing a random script onto a website I was responsible for, which claims to magically preload things and make things faster is not my idea of simple. Easy, perhaps. Risky, yes. Simple, no.


This can speed up your legacy site at most 200-300 ms. If your page load time is above 500ms, this won't do much...
