No Speculation Rules API for navigation prefetching

The Speculation Rules API is a browser feature that lets you tell Chrome to silently pre-load the next page a visitor is likely to click on before they click. This site does not use it.

Why this matters

Pages that are pre-loaded can feel almost instant when a visitor navigates to them, removing the brief loading delay many visitors experience. Faster-feeling navigation may improve user satisfaction. Browser support for speculation rules is currently limited to some Chromium-based browsers.

How to fix it

Add a script tag with type="speculationrules" containing a JSON block that lists which pages to prefetch - for example, your pricing or contact page. There is no meta tag form of this API; it requires the dedicated script element. Your developer can add this in under 30 minutes.
