## Use Predictive Prefetching Selectively

Predictive prefetching doesn't belong in every project. Use it where navigation latency is noticeable.

**Good use cases:** data-heavy dashboards, multi-page apps with slow API responses, e-commerce product pages.

**Bad use cases:** static sites with instant navigation, single-page apps with all data preloaded.
