Advanced

Speculative loading for instant page transitions, and serving static assets from a CDN.

These settings apply to the whole site, so a change here is visible on every page that uses the feature. Find them under Canvas > Performance, in the Advanced tab.

The tab sits in the rail on the left of the screen, with its own panel beside it:

This group holds the following settings:

• Speculative Loading (Instant Pages)DefaultOff

  Use the Speculation Rules API to prefetch or prerender same-origin links before click. Creates near-instant page transitions on Chromium browsers.

• Speculative Loading ModeDefaultPrefetch

  Prefetch downloads the HTML; prerender also executes JS, giving true instant transitions.

  Conservative = on click; Moderate = on hover; Eager = all visible links.

• CDN URLDefaultEmpty

  Serve theme, plugin and media files from this CDN origin instead of your own domain. Only URLs under wp-content and wp-includes are rewritten. Leave blank to disable.
