Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Flying Pages: Preload Pages for Faster Navigation & Improved User Experience
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.
See the video 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.
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.
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.
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%.
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. This will reduce server load dramatically.
