The Page Speed Booster app is designed to improve customer experience when they navigate through your store website. It tells customers’ browser to fetch or prepare to fetch page content during idle time in anticipation of the customer’s next action.
For example, when a customer is deciding which product to take a look at on a product list or collection page, there’s a 99% chance that the next page will be a product details page. Page Speed Booster improves this page’s performance by instructing the browser to fetch the content of one or more product details pages in advance. Once the customer clicks a link, the browser retrieves the content directly from its cache.
As a result, the accelerated page load speed improves the browsing experience, which in turn enhances the conversion rate.

Why didn’t my store's speed score increase when tested using GTmetrix or Google PageSpeed Insights?
This app boosts your page load speed to a certain extent. It preloads links, so it starts working from the second page view onwards. Since GTmetrix and Google PageSpeed Insights do not consider the second page load, the score may not reflect a significant difference. The true benefit is for the end-user experience, which helps increase conversion rates.
How does Page Speed Booster help my store?
