    Hi,

    I have a scrolling slider that loads as HTML and often has a 3.6 second wait before finishing (less than 1k in size).

    This plugin has a feature that allows prefetching of URLs on a per page level:
    (called “Auto prefetch URLs in viewport”)

    Can this help improve page loading speed and specifically improve the 3 sec. wait with this scroller?

    I look forward to you suggestions!

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    – The prefetch option is basically for prefetching the links inside the viewport so that when someone clicks on those links those pages will open instantly as they are prefetched. But I think your sidebar loading issue has more to do with the javascript used to do that instead of prefetch. I think you are using a render-blocking javascript that runs after the content is loaded to load the sidebar and maybe also has a few ajax requests behind the scene making it take a few seconds to load.

    Thank you – I think you are correct!

    The slider normally would take mor than 3 sec. to load. I have CloudFlare as my CDN and enabled the “Rocket Loader” feature and it then loaded in 32 ms!!

    Problem is solved as far as I am concerned. I thought I would have to solve it programmatically. Thanks for you guidance and we can close this issue.
