Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Better Resource Hints
If someone's using an older browser that doesn't support these hints, nothing will break. The generated tags will just be skipped over and the page will load as normal. The one slight exception to this is preloading CSS. Because the original link tags are completely converted to rel="preload", there would be nothing on which to fall back. To remedy this, a small polyfill is included by this plugin, so you can be at ease.
To start, I'd recommend Google Lighthouse. It's built into Google Chrome and there's also a command line utility available. Beyond that, you could try out something like WebPagetest or a more enterprise solution like SpeedCurve.
First, ensure that your source code contains <link rel="preload" ... > tags. Then, in Chrome, inspect the page and open up the Network tab. Refresh the page, and filter for your JS files to make things a little easier. Preloaded assets will have a "Priority" of "High."
Remember, this is different from dns-prefetch, and will download assets in the background as to cache them for future use. To verify a resource is being prefetched, first ensure that your source code contains <link rel="prefetch" ... > tags. Then, in Chrome, inspect the page and open up the Network tab. Refresh the page, and filter for your JS files to make things a little easier. Prefetched assets will have a "Priority" of "Low."
First, ensure your server is configured to support server push. Then, you can use Chrome's net internals to inspect each HTTP/2 session and which assets are being pushed. Navigate to chrome://net-internals/#http2 in Chrome to view this information.
