<p>Quicklink for WordPress attempts to make navigation to subsequent pages load faster. Embedded with the plugin is a javascript library, which detects links in the viewport, waits until the browser is idle and prefetches the URLs for these links. The library also tries to detect, if the user is on a slow connection or on a data plan.</p>
<p>This plugin builds heavily on the amazing work done by <a href="https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/quicklink" rel="nofollow ugc">Google Chrome Labs</a>.</p>
<p>More information about <a href="https://getquick.link" rel="nofollow ugc">Quicklink on the official Website</a>.</p>
<h4>How it works</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Detects links within the viewport</strong> (using <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Intersection_Observer_API" rel="nofollow ugc">Intersection Observer</a>)</li>
<li><strong>Waits until the browser is idle</strong> (using <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/requestIdleCallback" rel="nofollow ugc">requestIdleCallback</a>)</li>
<li><strong>Checks if the user isn’t on a slow connection</strong> (using <code>navigator.connection.effectiveType</code>) or has data-saver enabled (using <code>navigator.connection.saveData</code>)</li>
<li><strong>Prefetches URLs to the links</strong> (using <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/resource-hints/#prefetch" rel="nofollow ugc"><code><link rel=prefetch></code></a> or XHR). Provides some control over the request priority (can switch to <code>fetch()</code> if supported).</li>
</ul>

Quicklink for WordPress

Thanks for publishing this. Works really well. Would be nice to see option to loading Quicklink from a CDN.

Great plugin

⚡️ Faster subsequent page-loads by prefetching in-viewport links during idle time.

<p>After installation, preconnect hints will automatically be created the next time your website is visited.</p>
<p>You have the choice to include these resource hints in the HTTP header or the website’s .</p>

Pre* Party Resource Hints

Extremely effective, and by stealth, with automatic hints. My site speed score improved sharply. 

Take advantage of browser resource hints and plug-and-play features to improve page load time.
