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.
