Prefetch Suggester

Users hate waiting for pages to load. This tool analyzes your routes and suggests what to prefetch for instant navigation.

One command. Zero config. Just works.

Quick Start

npx ai-prefetch ./src/pages/

What It Does

• Analyzes your page routes and navigation patterns
• Identifies high-probability next pages
• Suggests data to prefetch
• Provides implementation code

Usage Examples

# Analyze pages directory
npx ai-prefetch ./src/pages/

# Analyze app routes
npx ai-prefetch ./app/routes/

Best Practices

• Prefetch on hover - intent signal before click
• Don't prefetch everything - wastes bandwidth
• Prioritize common paths - checkout flow, navigation
• Use intersection observer - prefetch when in view

When to Use This

• Navigation feels slow
• Optimizing user flow paths
• Adding prefetching to existing app
• Learning prefetch patterns
