The web platform and browsers are making lots of improvements to improve how pages are loaded, and providing APIs so developers can control some parts of it. A few of those are view transition API, 103 Early Hints, and Speculation Rules, which gives us a nice way to make our websites load instant/ultra-fast, with native-like navigation. We covered Early Hints in a previous episode and this video focus on the Speculation Rules APIs and how it can speed up your websites using pre-rendering and prefetching techniques.
Speculation Rules is a way to programatically tell the browser which pages to pre-render or prefetch, and when to do that. In this video we will dive into Speculation Rules and how it's used in the real world. We will go from simple to complex usage scenarios.
