Allow ServiceWorker to dispatch navigation requests without waiting for its startup
Supported on: Microsoft Edge version 140, Windows 7 or later
Registry
Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Value name: ServiceWorkerAutoPreloadEnabled
Enabled: ServiceWorkerAutoPreloadEnabled = 1
Disabled: ServiceWorkerAutoPreloadEnabled = 0
Description
This policy controls whether Microsoft Edge enables the ServiceWorkerAutoPreload feature. If you enable or don't configure this policy, Microsoft Edge can initiate the main resource network request concurrently with the Service Worker bootstrap process. This can improve performance in scenarios where the Service Worker isn't already running. If you disable this policy, Microsoft Edge will wait to dispatch the navigation request until after the Service Worker starts. This is a temporary policy and is removed in version 144 of Microsoft Edge. For more information on the feature, see https://github.com/WICG/service-worker-auto-preload.
