Flying Pages
Flying Pages preload pages before the user click on it, making them load instantly How it Works? Flying Pages injects a tiny JavaScript code (1KB gzipped), waits until the browser becomes idle. Then it detects pages in the viewport and on mouse hover and preloads them. Flying Pages is intelligent to make sure preloading doesn’t crash your server or make it slow. Preload pages in the viewport – Detect links within the viewport (current viewing area) using ‘Intersection Observer’ and tells the browser to preload them using ‘prefetch’, switch to xhr if not available (similar to Quicklink). Preload pages on mouse hover – On hovering links, if it’s not preloaded yet using above ‘viewport’, then Flying Pages will prefetch them instantly (similar to Instant.page). Limits the number of preloads per second – If your page has too many links, prefetching all at the same time will cause the server to crash or slow down the website to visitors. Flying Pages limits the number of preloads per second (3 req/sec by default) using an in-built queue. For example, if you’ve 10 links in the viewport, preloading all these are span into 4 seconds. Stops preloading if the server is busy – In case the server starts to respond slowly or return errors, preloading will be stopped to reduce the server load. Understands user’s connection and preferences – Checks if the user is on a slow connection like 2G or has enabled data-saver. Flying Pages won’t preload anything in this case.

Quicklink for WordPress
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. This plugin builds heavily on the amazing work done by Google Chrome Labs. More information about Quicklink on the official Website. How it works Detects links within the viewport (using Intersection Observer) Waits until the browser is idle (using requestIdleCallback) Checks if the user isn’t on a slow connection (using navigator.connection.effectiveType) or has data-saver enabled (using navigator.connection.saveData) Prefetches URLs to the links (using or XHR). Provides some control over the request priority (can switch to fetch() if supported). If you are a developer, we encourage you to follow along or contribute to the development of this plugin on GitHub.
