About the Extension

StPiPrefetch - Speed Up Your Shopware Pages for a Better User Experience

StPiPrefetch is a powerful and easy-to-use plugin for Shopware that significantly reduces the loading times of your shop pages, improving the user experience for your customers. By intelligently preloading content that is frequently or likely to be accessed, your customers can navigate faster, resulting in increased satisfaction.

Why StPiPrefetch?

Today, many customers leave websites if they do not load quickly enough. StPiPrefetch ensures that frequently used pages or links in your shop are available faster by loading them in the background before the customer actually clicks on them. The result: smooth and fast navigation and a significantly better user experience!

Note on Browser Support

StPiPrefetch uses what are known as Speculation Rules, a technology that is currently experimental and primarily supported in Chromium-based browsers like Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. Other browsers, such as Firefox and Safari, currently offer either limited or no support for this feature. Therefore, the full potential of this plugin is best experienced in Chrome and Edge, and it is continually developed to support future advancements in browser compatibility.

Support and Updates

StPiPrefetch is continuously improved to keep up with future developments in browser technology and to offer new features. Our support team is always available to assist with any questions or concerns.

Make Your Shop Faster and Improve the Shopping Experience

Satisfied customers are the foundation of a successful online shop. With StPiPrefetch, you can offer your customers a better user experience through faster loading times and optimized navigation – all without additional technical effort on your part as a shop owner. Try it out and experience the difference!
