#12This sounds like a computer processor's branch prediction algorithm.

#13Perhaps this something that a browser should be doing, instead of websites themselves?
The heuristics to exclude logout links and the like would be very disruptive. Those decisions need to be in the website author's hands.
However, I think if browsers had this, but off by default until seeing tags to enable it along with any exclusions, that would be great.

#14This is a feature available on most web frameworks today (for example Link's prefetch on Next.js), but still could be very useful for smaller website and other static pages not using such frameworks. I'd be a little wary of using a script from an unknown person without being able to look at the code - I'd rather see this open source before using. Especially being free and MIT licensed, I don't see why it wouldn't be…
Just go directly to the script url: https://instant.page/1.0.0
The code is not obfuscated or minified, very easy to read.

#15Is 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.

#16This is very nice idea, but isn't the problem initial liad time most of the time? How could we solve that? Does this also work for all the outgoing links as well? I don't want to improve other sites rendering time at the expense of my own. Very cool regardless.
It doesn’t work for outgoing links because the gain wouldn’t be as much as the CSS and scripts of the external site need to be loaded in addition to the HTML (only the HTML can be preloaded).
Also, there’s usually no incentive to improve other’s sites pages load.

It appears that the source code [1] is linked from their Technical Details page.

#18Where does their code get inserted? I could imagine it might help if it were added to the page you were linking from, but the site seems to indicate the code gets added to page you want to have load quickly -- the page you're linking to.

It probably should be minified if the whole point is to improve page load times.

Kind of. It’s different than InstantClick in that it uses 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”.
