## Opis

Flying Pages preload pages before the user click on it, making them load instantly

### How it Works?

Flying Pages injects a tiny JavaScript code (1KB gzipped), waits until the browser
becomes idle. Then it detects pages in the viewport and on mouse hover and preloads
them.

Flying Pages is intelligent to make sure preloading doesn't crash your server or
make it slow.

 * **Preload pages in the viewport** – Detect links within the viewport (current
   viewing area) using ‘Intersection Observer’ and tells the browser to preload 
   them using ‘prefetch’, switch to xhr if not available (similar to [Quicklink](https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/quicklink)).
 * **Preload pages on mouse hover** – On hovering links, if it's not preloaded yet
   using above ‘viewport’, then Flying Pages will prefetch them instantly (similar
   to [Instant.page](https://instant.page/)).
 * **Limits the number of preloads per second** – If your page has too many links,
   prefetching all at the same time will cause the server to crash or slow down 
   the website to visitors. Flying Pages limits the number of preloads per second(
   3 req/sec by default) using an in-built queue. For example, if you've 10 links
   in the viewport, preloading all these are span into 4 seconds.
 * **Stops preloading if the server is busy** – In case the server starts to respond
   slowly or return errors, preloading will be stopped to reduce the server load.
 * **Understands user's connection and preferences** – Checks if the user is on 
   a slow connection like 2G or has enabled data-saver. Flying Pages won't preload
   anything in this case.

## ČPP

### My GTmetrix fully load time increased after installing Flying Pages. What to do?

Flying Pages starts preloading when all other resources have completed downloading
and browser has become idle. It will not affect the TTFB or First Contentful Paint
or Time to Interactive. If you’re worried about the fully loaded time in GTmetrix,
set the “Delay to start preloading” to a higher number in settings or set it to 
preload only on mouse hover.

### How to check if Flying Pages is working or not?

See the [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T658UlOKdx8) and you'll find ‘prefetch
cache’ (test it from an incognito window if you've enabled ‘Disable for logged in
admins’)

### I’m not seeing any improvements in GTmetrix/Pingdom/Google PageSpeed Insights

Flying Pages preload links after the website is loaded and only improves the speed
on clicking links. It doesn’t help you to speed up the initial load.

### Do I need a cache plugin?

Every time a page/link is preloaded, it executes some PHP code and MySQL queries
which is resource-intensive. So it's highly recommended to use a cache plugin like
[FlyingPress](https://flyingpress.com/).

### Do Flying Pages affect Google Analytics or similar tracking scripts?

Flying Pages only downloads the HTML content. It doesn't execute any code inside
it. So it will not affect Google Analytics or similar scripts.

### Will Flying Pages increase my bandwidth usage?

It's mostly videos and images that consume 80% of the bandwidth. Flying Pages only
preloads HTML pages (which is usually <30KB) and doesn't download any resources 
inside it (like images, css, js). Installing Flying Pages won't increase your bandwidth
usage not even by 5%.

### Do Flying Pages increase server load?

In short, yes. But you can configure Flying Pages to limit the number of preloads
per second or preload only on mouse hover which reduces the server load. Also, make
sure to use a good cache plugin like [FlyingPress](https://flyingpress.com/). This
will reduce server load dramatically.

Sorry, but the home page is not purged when articles are being published and I have
proven that to your “support” which obviously blames Cloudflare Enterprise and 300
$ monthly hosting companies.

We installed FlyingPress due to it's excellent caching features and quickly found
that we were seeing better performance scores than what we could squeeze out of 
wp-rocket. The few little issues we did run into during setup was quickly addressed
by FlyingPress support. This is what a 5 star Wordpress plugin looks like 🙂

Although I can not find information why some of the “Ignore keywords” are prefilled(
like .webp and the other images), I do really like the Flying Pages plugin! Like
the review titles says, Flying Pages letteraly created a smile on my face. Thank
you for sharing!

The latest version of FP is starting to break my site often now. Before, it was 
a blank white screen; now it's saying ‘featured not enabled.’ The support is unapologetic
