n February 6, 2025, Toon van Doorn, Technical Consultant and Backend Developer at Strix, took the stage at Shopware United Connect Europe. During his session, he shared insights on Instant Navigation, a technology that significantly enhances the user experience within webshops.

What is Instant Navigation?

Instant Navigation leverages prerendering and smart resource preloading to load pages almost instantly—before a user even clicks. This ensures a smooth and fast shopping experience, which not only boosts conversions but also improves a webshop’s sustainability.

During the session, developers and e-commerce specialists gained practical insights into optimizing their webshop’s performance:

✔ How prerendering works and why it is the future of e-commerce performance.
✔ The five stages of resource preloading.
✔ How the Strix Instant Navigation plugin makes a Shopware webshop faster.
✔ Why speed impacts sustainability and server load.
✔ How a single performance tweak can improve indexing speed by 80%.

With these insights, webshops can significantly enhance the user experience while optimizing resource efficiency.
