	 * Filters the way that speculation rules are configured.
	 *
	 * The Speculation Rules API is a web API that allows to automatically prefetch or prerender certain URLs on the
	 * page, which can lead to near-instant page load times. This is also referred to as speculative loading.
	 *
	 * There are two aspects to the configuration:
	 * * The "mode" (whether to "prefetch" or "prerender" URLs).
	 * * The "eagerness" (whether to speculatively load URLs in an "eager", "moderate", or "conservative" way).
	 *
	 * By default, the speculation rules configuration is decided by WordPress Core ("auto"). This filter can be used
	 * to force a certain configuration, which could for instance load URLs more or less eagerly.
	 *
	 * For logged-in users or for sites that are not configured to use pretty permalinks, the default value is `null`,
	 * indicating that speculative loading is entirely disabled.
	 *
	 * @since 6.8.0
	 * @see https://developer.chrome.com/docs/web-platform/prerender-pages
	 *

	 *                                           default value for both of the keys is 'auto'. Other possible values
	 *                                           for 'mode' are 'prefetch' and 'prerender'. Other possible values for
	 *                                           'eagerness' are 'eager', 'moderate', and 'conservative'. The value
