Hi, I hope you have a good end of year holiday

I have a question, I would like to know if it was possible to preload a page from an advertising platform like Instagram, let me explain

I would like the page to preload without the user being able to reach the advertisement so that people with a bad connection do not wait too long before my site is displayed

Is it possible to preload the page without the user having them before their eyes?

example:

The target user looks at his story on Instagram and my ad should appear let's say 2 stories later and I would like it to be already preloaded so that the content is displayed instantly without any waiting
 
None that I know of.. nopes.

The only thing you could do is load scripts from a cdn. If the user visited another site which had the same cdn, it might be in the cache and will preload.
 
So is there anything I can do to force a page to preload? :(
 
You need to explain more clearly, there are many things that might be possible but your description is not clear
 
Ok i will try to clarify my question
Imagine that I pay for Instagram advertising in the form of stories
I want the target users (the one who will buy) not to waste time waiting for my website to load, so I want to know if it is possible to pre-load my website without the users don't go to my website yet

Because Instagram does not place the advertisement at the last second, it places the advertisement in a certain place and waits for the user to fall on it but without preloading and I precisely want this preloading to be carried out

Nope. Your best bet is to make the site in HTML and use a CDN to deliver static files like images and css.

Nah man. When another site shows a widget to your site (be it insta, fb or whatever), all they do is send a crawler to your site that fetches your featured image and description (which in most cases are from meta tags). They don't fetch anything else. So, the user has to load your resources to see them. There's no way around.
 
Ok okay, I'm disappointed lol, I would try to find another solution...

I think the solution is to make your site as light as possible. One way to do this is by deferring the resource loading. For example see facebook, and watch how they deliver the content to the user.

Read more on it. You might thank me later. ;)
 
Oh I see what you mean. Yeah I agree with what is said above. You can easily make a very fast and small splash page or similar to give the users a quick experience. Small static page + CDN will satisfy everyone.

General practice I believe. You need to have an eye for noticing these. Nobody says these anywhere specifically afaik lol. One good place is stackoverflow.
 
If you want the basic outline on optimising your page if you have many assets then you can do multiple things. But if you are not knowledgeable on coding then you can use Page Speed Insights by Google to test the speed of said page and then you will receive tips/info on how to optimise.

A great resource for optimising image is tinyjpg
