About this plugin
Your website visitors usually jump from page to page, or read your blog posts one after the other. Current caching plugins perform caching on the current page you are on. This plugin caches the next page your visitor will go to.
This means your visitors can navigate your website faster.
How Does This Work?
Next Page Caching implements awesome “next page” caching to your site – this is different from your typical caching plugins like WP Rocket and W3 Total Cache.
Instead of only trying to serve the current page faster to your visitors, this plugin lets your browser load parts of the next page while the visitor is busy reading the current page he/she is on.
It does this with your help. We ask you two things in every post/page: First is what you think the next webpage your visitor will most likely go to afterwards, and second is a short list of critical files that you think should be loaded first in your page to make the top part of the page become visible quickly.
With those two items, the plugin can now preload the important parts of the next page he’ll go to. The plugin also prioritizes the loading of the chosen critical files to ensure that the next page is visible as soon as possible.

For example, if you find that a majority of your visitors in your front page check out the pricing page, then pick your pricing page as the “next page”. The visitors who navigate from your front page to your pricing page should see some speed benefits.
This is not meant to replace your current caching plugin, but instead, this is meant to be used alongside it.
What Caching Does This Do?
- The plugin prefetches the main HTML of the chosen next page, as well as the critical files specified.
- Prefetches the first post when viewing a blog list or archive page.
- Preloads the post’s chosen critical files to prioritize them.
- Preloads the theme stylesheet so that it gets loaded first.
- Preloads the featured image of a blog post or page when needed (and if it’s large) so that it shows up faster.
- Preconnects to the Google Fonts domain for faster font downloading when needed.
Important Notice
- Do not replace your current caching plugin with this one, use this one together with your existing one.
- This plugin does not predict / analyze where your visitors will go next
