By name: prefetch-suggester description: Get AI suggestions for routes and data to prefetch. Use when optimizing navigation.
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
