hyperdrive's Introduction

Hyperdrive

The fastest way to load pages in WordPress.

Todo before 1.0.0 release

Only dequeue scripts if browser supports Fetch for backwards compatibility with older browsers
Integrate localization behaviors as shown here.
Test with a few different themes and open bugs and needed

Post 1.0.0 roadmap

Integrate User Interface created by @wedangsu
Ensure interface gives ability to defer script execution for scripts querying the DOM until after the DOM is fully parsed.
Give ability to perform grouping, so non-jQuery scripts can download and execute without waiting for jQuery.
Add ability to load icon fonts and non-critical CSS (also possible with Fetch Inject)
Build API enabling theme authors greater control

How it works

Hyperdrive uses a performance optimization technique known as Fetch Injection, available in browsers with support for the Fetch API. Fetch is a modern replacement for Ajax.
