See every featureModern stores can’t squeeze much more out of JavaScript or CSS compression—but our app takes a different approach. Instead of optimizing files, we optimize perception. Using our new predictive preloading technology, pages are predicted and preloaded before customers click, so they feel instant, even with heavy themes or low speed scores. Works perfectly on desktop and mobile.
Page Speed Booster tells your browser to use idle time to retrieve or prepare to retrieve page contents in anticipation of the user's next action. As a result, Page Speed Booster helps to make your site's pages instant and improves your Conversion Rate.
