###Smart Prefetch for Joomla 5+

The Problem

Your visitors are impatient.

Every extra second of loading time costs you:
- 📉 7% drop in conversions per second
- 🏃 Higher bounce rates from slow navigation
- 📱 Mobile users leaving (53% abandon after 3 seconds)
- 🔍 Lower search rankings (Google penalizes slow sites)

Even with caching, there's still a delay. That 1500ms-4000ms gap between click and load feels sluggish in 2026.

The Solution

Smart Prefetch preloads pages before users click them.

While users are reading, thinking, or moving their mouse, Smart Prefetch quietly loads the next page in the background. When they finally click, the page appears instantly.

How It Works

1️⃣ Intelligent Detection

Automatically finds the most likely next page:
- Next/previous articles
- Pagination links
- Adjacent categories
- Related content

2️⃣ Smart Prefetching

Loads pages during idle time:
- After current page fully loads
- When user hovers over links
- During reading/scrolling pauses
- Without slowing down current page

3️⃣ Instant Navigation

When users click:
- Page loads from cache instantly
- No server delay
- No loading spinner
- Feels like a native app️
