Stencil themes can access remote objects through event hook and use the hooks to trigger defined events based on shopper behavior. This will allow you to collect product data and optimize a shopper's experience. To facilitate theme-building, BigCommerce provides [stencil-utils](/docs/storefront/stencil/utils/reference) -- a client-side library for managing event hooks.

## Pre-rendered Checkout pages

All stencil themes utilizes the [Speculation Rules API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Speculation_Rules_API) to pre-render checkout pages, improving performance and user experience.

### Limitations

- Currently only works if the shopper is using the Google Chrome browser. Check [browser compatibility](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Speculation_Rules_API#browser_compatibility) to see latest browser support.
- The checkout won't pre-render if the shopper updates their cart on the cart page.

If you are hosting your own analytics you'll need to make changes to your implementation to ensure compatibility. See [analytics documentation](https://developer.bigcommerce.com/docs/integrations/hosted-analytics) for more information.
