Question about Instant Click feature

if Instant Click was enabled would it preload all 5 pages?

No, only the hovered link. If Clothing is just a menu item without a link nothing happens.

Hi,

Assume ‘Clothing’ is also a clickable link, but they want to view the ‘Womens’ category. The user would have to hover over ‘Clothing’ for the drop down to appear, then they would need to move the cursor over ‘Boys’, ‘Girls, ‘Men’ to get to ‘Women’ at the bottom of the drop down, which they would click on.

In this scenario, the user has moved the cursor over 5 pages and clicked on one ‘Women’. So, would Instant Click preload all 5 pages if it was enabled?

Thanks

As said, each single menu item that has a link must be hovered to preload. Hovering the Clothing link doesn’t preload links in submenu.

Hi,

I don’t think you’re understanding my question.

I am not asking if all 5 pages will be preloaded just by hovering over the parent category in the menu, in this scenario, ‘Clothing’. I understand if you hover over ‘Clothing’ only, then only the Clothing page will preload.

But, in my scenario, the Parent category ‘Clothing’ in the menu has 4 child menus below it, with ‘Women’ at the bottom of the vertical drop down menu.

Clothing > (parent menu)

• Boys (child menu)
• Girls (child menu)
• Men (child menu)
• Women (child menu)

So, if the visitor wants to click on ‘Women’, they would have to hover over ‘Clothing’ for the vertical drop down to appear. Then they would have to move the cursor over ‘Boys’, ‘Girls’, ‘Men’, to get to the bottom item in the drop which is ‘Woman’, and they click on it. In this scenario, the visitor has hovered the cursor over 5 pages and clicked on 1. Would the Instant Click feature preload 5 pages in this scenario?

Thanks

Please read my last post again. This post answers your first post and also the scenario you described in your last post because they are both the same. For the Instant Click function, it doesn’t matter whether it is a single link or links in a menu. For every link that is hovered, the Instant Click script fires an XHR request.

Would the Instant Click feature preload 5 pages in this scenario?

The answer to your question is therefore yes, but not all links at the same time, but only for the links that are hovered.

I understand, thanks.
