πŸƒ Instant page

Pre-load the next page when a customer hovers over a link β€” so the page is already there when they click.

Who can use this feature?

Instant page is available on the Pro and Expert plans.

What is Instant page?

When customers hover over a link, they almost always click it. Instant page uses that moment to quietly load the page in the background. By the time they actually click, the page is ready to go β€” feeling instant.

This is especially noticeable on product cards, menu items, and "Learn more" links.

Why use Instant page?

  • Near-instant navigation β€” the next page is already loaded by the time customers click.

  • Smoother shopping β€” most noticeable on product cards, menus, and "Learn more" links, where browsing speeds up.

  • Higher engagement β€” faster page transitions keep customers clicking deeper into your store.

  • Safe by design β€” risky links (like logout) are automatically skipped.
