The website it is.


Good stuff, but I don't think this website is big enough to demo the benefits, maybe a heavier website is needed. A properly configured web server as well as the right HTTP headers will give you the same speed, perceptually.

Also you might want add some kind of tracking to avoid making repeat requests (probably within a timeframe). For e.g. hovering one link, then changing your mind, then going to another link. The browser will smartly pull it from its cache but this lib is still making the requests.


I just added it to my database driven website that is run off shared hosting: http://coloradocsas.info/

It doesn't feel that much faster, but I'd love a way to verify speed changes with data.


I'm watching via the dev console and don't see any requests being sent out on hover. Are you sure it's working?


I took another look and I wasn't doing the init(). I am now, but it still doesn't appear to be working. Not sure why.


You’ll need to enable blacklisting, see http://instantclick.io/start.html#whitelist_blacklist

Sorry, my copy was previously unclear about that point.


I figured as much, but please add an additional demo part to your website, something like 10 interlinking Lorem ipsum pages. Be sure to also add a few images on some pages (but not on others).

I had already viewed a couple pages (to read what it is about) before I started looking for a demo, and by then I wasn't sure if it was my browser caching or your script that made the pages load snappy.

Maybe also provide a 10-page Lorem ipsum "before" example, clearly marked that it does not use your library, to demonstrate the difference. I can't really tell if maybe your server is just really fast.


Wow cool!
