@greghogg5: I've been calling this optimistic pre-loading, but apparently the correct name for this is actually speculative fetching. So I guess I'm the one who sucks at system design this time :)

That's a very native take. Optimistic preloading is VERY situational; using it blindly could waste bandwidth, latency, and pollute cache. Just because Google/Instagram does it is a stupid argument to call people suck at system design for.
