What it does
Guess.js is a set of tools for web developers. It uses data, such as Google Analytics visitor patterns or machine learning models, to guess which page a visitor will probably go to next.
The site can then load that page in the background, so it appears faster when clicked. The tools include a plugin for webpack, a common website build tool.
The README labels the project as alpha, meaning an early version.
