Hi Interesting Plugin , Thanks :) , Here is another plugin, the author in this and this post compares
QuickLinkandInstantPageand says thatQuickLinkdoesn't have options like@ben What both of you think which is better ?
Great post Addy,
I starred quicklink the other day and noticed you had a hand in it :D Cool that you're thinking of adding support for preload as well!
I remember that dev.to is using a modified version of InstantClick to make the website feel faster, yours seems a more efficient (thanks to the IntersectionObserver) and modern implementation. Am I correct? Aside from the fact that InstantClick seems not to be maintained anymore.
Great overview! I wonder if this is something we (dev.to) would use. Any thoughts @ben ?
Yeah, I'm super into this kind of stuff. We have some workarounds for performance which make it not quite as obvious when and where we'd make use, but I'm super down to pick the right places to start working with this.
I played with prefetch a while back and then kind of let my efforts drop off. I'm super in favor of finding good spots for our use.
Awesome! Love to hear if you end up experimenting with the ideas here more. In case dev.to tries
quicklink, we just released a new version that gives you a lot more control over what links/URLs to ignore (RegExp, Array or Function) and what origins you'd like to enable prefetching for too: github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/quickl...Been trying out Quicklink. Too little data to share some insights but thanks for that. 👍
That's super cool. Thanks for sharing!
ps: guessjs.com/ doesn't seem to be working
Thanks! I've updated the link :)
Thankful for all the work you do Addy!
