Route preloading doesn't run on dynamic page cache hits

Problem/Motivation

Found in 📌 Add authenticated user umami performance tests Fixed .

As an authenticated user visiting the front page, there are at least two cache gets for routes on dynamic page cache hits.

This is because the route preloader runs after the dynamic page cache request subscriber, which on a cache hit means it never runs. However cache misses on parts of the page, or uncached placeholder replacements can still benefit from the preloaded routes.

Conversely, we could say that this shouldn't run on cache hits because if no URLs are generated from routes, we'd save the work, however system_js_settings_alter checking isFrontPage() is one of the two route loads that happens, and that runs on every request even with dynamic page cache hits it looks like.

Steps to reproduce

Proposed resolution

Add an explicit priority to the route preloader.
