Learn how the proposed Portals API can improve your navigation UX. Making sure your pages load fast is key to delivering a good user experience. But one area we often overlook is page transitions—what our users see when they move between pages. A new web platform API proposal called Portals aims to help with this by streamlining the experience as users navigate across your site.
