Cloudflare has launched Speed Brain, a new feature that speeds up web page loading by prefetching content users are likely to visit next, reducing load times by about 45%.
Why it matters: Speed Brain cuts page load times significantly, improving user experience and reducing bounce rates on websites.
The big picture: This feature leverages the Speculation Rules API and Cloudflare’s global CDN to prefetch static content safely and efficiently.
Stunning stat: Speed Brain reduces Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) by up to 75% in lab tests with an initial conservative model.
