Your move, browsers that haven't implemented nav preload after we communicated its importance last year.https://twitter.com/VentureBeat/status/1036047046908813312 …

Why do you need this for ServiceWorker to be performant??

It amortizes ServiceWorker startup time by not stalling the primary network request on it.

I don't think I understand why you couldn't just spin up the ServiceWorker earlier.

Are you referring to the general case or this specific case?

We have experimented with various forms of predictive SW startup. "Omnibox warming" is launched and shows wins. Others haven't panned out.

Can't the home page with the querybox itself warm it up?

How does that help most sites? One-offs for http://google.com aren't cool.

http://Google.com is a website that serves HTML and JavaScript. Other websites have figured out how to do this too. Sites with similar usage patterns can do their own prewarming as desired.

I'm super confused. How is this an argument against Nav Preload and features that make things faster in general?

SW startup is device-perf dependant and Nav Preload enables early fetch for data separate from app start. Keeps SW in control but gets data fetch started much, much earlier. Improves things most on slowest devices.
Loading seems to be taking a while.
