Who it is for
Stores where the next page drags
If shoppers wait each time they tap through to the next page, preloading has it ready before the tap.
Stores that want it chosen from real shoppers
It predicts the next page from how real shoppers move through your store, not guesswork, and adapts in real time to your store, your products and your customers.
Stores with steady traffic
It learns from real visits, so how soon you see results depends on your traffic. Typically, we see the effects within the first two weeks.
How it works, step by step
-
Install from the Shopify App Store
It takes minutes and needs no code. Whoosh runs inside your Shopify admin.
-
It learns how shoppers move
From real visits to your store, it learns which pages shoppers tend to open next.
-
It preloads the likely next page
In the background, with that page's largest image, so it looks ready sooner. It also starts when a shopper hovers over a link, scrolls to it or pauses on it.
-
The shopper taps, and the page is there
Lower bounce, smoother browsing, faster time to checkout. Your dashboard shows the result from a 50/50 test in your first few weeks.
Hover prefetch and predictive preloading
Both load the next page before the shopper opens it. They differ in when they start.
Hover prefetch
Booster
Starts loading a page when the shopper's mouse rests on a link. It is free on the Shopify App Store. If your first page loads well and only the next one drags, Booster may be all you need.
Predictive preloading
AI Page Preloading
Predicts where a shopper will go next from how real shoppers move, and preloads on hover, scroll or pause, including that page's main image. US$99 a month.
Preloading the next page does not fix a slow first page. If a popup, chat or reviews widget loads before the product photo, that is Smart App Loading's job. Run one preloader, not two: two at once double the same job.
How you see it worked
On your own store, with your own shoppers. Every store starts on a 50/50 test for its first few weeks, about a month: half your shoppers get Whoosh and half do not. Once the result is clear, it moves to 90/10, keeping 10% of shoppers as a control group so the lift stays measured.
Your dashboard compares conversion and revenue between the groups. The difference is the revenue Whoosh recovers.

What it never touches
- It never preloads checkout or account pages, though it can preload the cart. Checkout runs on Shopify.
- It does not edit or copy your theme.
- On its own it does not change when your apps load: that is Smart App Loading. Whoosh Max has both.

AI Page Preloading questions
How soon does AI Page Preloading work?
AI Page Preloading relies on real user data to build an understanding of common navigation patterns, so timing for results significantly depends on the traffic your website gets. Typically, we see the effects within the first two weeks.
Does AI Page Preloading touch checkout?
No. Whoosh can preload your cart so it opens instantly, but it never preloads checkout or account pages.
How is AI Page Preloading different from Booster?
Booster Page Speed Optimizer loads a page in the background when a shopper’s mouse rests on a link. Whoosh’s AI Page Preloading predicts the next page and preloads on hover, scroll or pause, including that page’s main image, and Whoosh’s Smart App Loading also puts your other apps behind the product photo.
Can I use AI Page Preloading with Booster?
Both preload the next page, so running the two preloaders at once doubles that job. If you keep Booster for preloading, Whoosh’s Smart App Loading plan (US$99 a month) does the app loading on its own.
What does AI Page Preloading cost?
US$99 a month, with a 7-day free trial, billed through Shopify. Cancel anytime in Shopify. Whoosh Max, which includes Smart App Loading too, is US$149 a month.
