Specification

https://jeremyroman.github.io/alternate-loading-modes/#speculation-rules

Summary

Speculation Rules is a flexible syntax for defining what outgoing links are
eligible to be prepared speculatively before navigation. It enables access
to additional enhancements, such as use of a private prefetch proxy, where
applicable.

Participants in this trial can use this syntax to request prefetching of
links they expect the user is likely to visit next.


This is a request to extend the previous experiment
<https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/Cw-hOjT47qI/m/EObn9-4MAgAJ>,
with the same limitations. We would like to extend the experiment for
milestones *M95 to M97 (inclusive)*, in order to continue to gather data as
a partner makes improvements to their integration and to shave some of the
rough edges off the implementation.

TAG review status

Complete

Risks

Interoperability and Compatibility

Gecko: No signal

WebKit: No signal

Web developers: Past success with <link rel=prefetch>
<https://web.dev/link-prefetch/> and libraries like QuickLink, and
discussion with some partners suggests interest in this space.


Goals for experimentation

To gather feedback about the convenience of the Speculation Rules syntax,
and to gather data about performance improvements for navigations that are
prefetched, directly and via a private prefetch proxy (subject to the
limitations mentioned above).

Ongoing technical constraints

No significant technical constraints anticipated.

Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac,
Linux, Chrome OS, Android, and Android WebView)?

Chrome for Android (non-WebView) only, at present.

Eventually other platforms will be supported.

Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests
<https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/testing/web_platform_tests.md>
?

Not yet, but we have plans to
<https://github.com/jeremyroman/alternate-loading-modes/blob/main/speculation-rules-testing.md>
.

Flag name

The origin trial feature name will continue to be SpeculationRulesPrefetch.
