How does this work on devices with touch screen? (My apologies if this question has already been raised)

(Your apology was rejected as it's clearly stated in the ultra short OP)

It prefetches on touch event while a "click" is normally triggered by a touch release.

This is really impressive! I noticed the script uses `const` and `let` which might cause javascript errors in older browsers ( https://caniuse.com/#search=let ) so I ran it through the Google Closure compiler to compile it down to ES3 and it works great. https://closure-compiler.appspot.com/home I've added it to my blog and a Django side project. Really speeds up page loads. Just need to add `data-no-instant` attribu…

It’s loaded as a module so older browsers won’t execute it (and thus won’t choke on the modern syntax).

Oh. Interesting. I didn't know about modules.

A "1% improvement in conversion rate" is a big claim to make for a claim that seems so small.

That is, if you wanted to prove that "X is better than Y by 1%" you would need a sample approaching 10,000 attempted conversions to have a hope of having a good enough sample.

Many people browse the web from an employer who has rules about what types of pages may be accessed. For example, a person applying for a job with my team may include a link to a web page about their job-related background -- portfolio.html or whatever. HR tells us to be sure we don't follow links to any other page that may be more personal in nature, such as a page that reveals the applicant's marital status (which…

Could you say what company this is, so that I can make sure I never work there?

And I assume that’s why the author has put 4 references to that claim

According to the page, it was Amazon that made the original claim, so they would have the necessary sample size.

But there's no guarantee that it will apply for all pages.

Works very well for me.

dieulot, is there a small bug with the allowQueryString check?

    const allowQueryString = 'instantAllowQueryString' in document.body.dataset
I think should be:

    const allowQueryString = 'instantallowquerystring' in document.body.dataset

If I have:

    
then

    'instantAllowQueryString' in document.body.dataset === false
and

    'instantallowquerystring' in document.body.dataset === true
because html data attributes get converted to lowercase by the browser (I think).

There is a slew of case studies that support this line of thinking. Page speed impacts user retention and conversions.
