The add-on is included in the SpeedUp add-ons package for CS-Cart and Multivendor (supplied free for package owners)
What problems does the Preload add-on solve?
- Provides technical implementation of font files preloading (direct requirement of Google PageSpeed Insights speed audit service);
- Ensures that image files are prioritized on page load (improves FCP / LCP scores, which have been repeatedly highlighted in Google's 2021 search ranking algorithm changes);
- Provides special admin interface to configure images preloading on different store pages (fine tuning);
- Adds more page speed loading for users, adds additional scores.
