StPiPrefetch – Optimized Loading for Shopware

Page loading speed is a crucial factor for user experience and conversion rates. With StPiPrefetch, a powerful and free plugin for Shopware 6 is now available, optimizing the loading of search suggestions, search results, and other relevant pages.

📢 Now available for free in the Shopware Store

The plugin can now be downloaded for free from the Shopware Store.

🔥 What does StPiPrefetch do?

The plugin utilizes the experimental Speculation Rules API in Chromium-based browsers such as Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge to preload relevant pages in the background before the user even clicks on them.

The result:

  • ✔ Faster loading times for an improved user experience
  • ✔ Reduced waiting times while navigating the shop
  • ✔ Optimized display of search suggestions and search results

⚙️ What features does the plugin offer?

With StPiPrefetch, you can control preloading behavior in detail:

  • Search Suggestions: Search results are preloaded as soon as the user starts typing.
  • Search Results: Product pages from search results are prepared to load faster.
  • Custom Usage: User-defined selectors for prefetch/prerender can be configured in the plugin settings.
  • Device-Specific Settings: Prefetching/prerendering can be enabled only for desktop or all devices.
  • Eagerness Level: Control whether preloading occurs immediately or only after user interaction.

🛠 Easy Configuration in Shopware Backend

The settings can be easily adjusted in the Shopware admin panel, allowing you to define which content should be preloaded and with what strategy.

🔍 Important to Know

Since the Speculation Rules API is currently experimental, the plugin only works in browsers that support this technology. Currently, these are Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge.
