Is this a re-rebranding? I remember using something similar 4-5 years ago (instant.js/instantclick).
But quite an interesting little thing, especially useful for older websites to bring some life into them. The effect is very noticeable.
- dieulot 8y agoKind of. It’s different than InstantClick in that it uses <link rel="prefetch"> and can thus be embedded in one minute, while InstantClick transforms a site into an SPA and require additional work. It’s a different product. The initially planned name for it was “InstantClick Lite”.
- rprime 8y agoOh interesting, I'll give this a go.
- Existenceblinks 8y agoI've seen this kind of features several times on libs. And sometimes I can't un-think about it while my mouse is hovering on links in normal life. It's .. prefetching or not?
- pbhjpbhj 8y agoHmm, I wonder: if the user isn't asked to authorise the action whether it technically breaches the Computer Misuse Act (UK). If you send a requested page, that's obviously fine. Normal use of websites is expected, but unilaterally instructing your site visitor's browser to download further unrequested content that's not part of a requested resource ...?
- mcdevilkiller 8y agoWhat about downloading tracking js you didn't ask for then?
- paintballboi07 8y agoSince nothing is actually executed until you click on the link, the only issue would be those on metered connections.
