Faster navigations than React

Page views smaller and faster than the famously-minimal HackerNews homepage?!
What if I told you there are two Web Platform features that will give you genuinely instant page loads with minimal overhead? If you want this today, you may think you must reach for a big JavaScript framework like React, Vue or Svelte, but these are APIs becoming baked into the browsers.
Both see use on ~10% of page views globally, but this is mostly down to a handful of large platforms and third-parties, so this is an opportunity to see what’s on the horizon for web performance, peek at what the likes of Google and Shopify are doing to get ahead and learn how you can leverage these features to your advantage today.
