Nice idea for HTTP/1.x, however, isn't this what HTTP/2.0 [1] is meant to achieve by pushing components at the user? 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP/2_Server_Push
Would you push everything? Or just hovered links?

> Just make sure you apply the data-no-instant tag to your logout link, otherwise it'll logout on mouseover. Logout links should never be GETs in the first place - they change states and should be POSTs.
POSTs are not Links. And Logout service is indempotent even if you can consider it changes the state of the system
Idempotency is not the issue, the issue is that a user might hover over the logout link, not click it, then move on to the rest of the site and find they are logged out for no reason.

#163Is this kind of like turbolinks which Basecamp uses?
Similar in effect, but not in method. Turbolinks fetches pages after a click like normal, but swaps the body tag from the new page into the current page, cutting local render times.

The difference between the HTTP/2.0 and instant.page is that the preload initiative is on the client, and not the server.
I guess you could use both. HTTP/2.0 for linked resources and instant.page to preload based on the user's behavior.

#165Many 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…
That story about 'personal' pages sounds like an excuse for tracking what you do on your computer. I'd look for a different job if I were you to be honest. It sounds like a toxic environment to work in.

#166I'm curious how this is better than Google quicklink (https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/quicklink) which is something I have active on my site currently.
Can someone with more technical knowledge point out which of these two "instant pages" solutions is better?

That's exactly the problem with idempotency.

Right, which is why the included library includes an HTML attribute to disable prefetch on a given link.

#169Looks very good! Love the landing page.
Testing on my dev box now. I’ll be rolling this out to a subset of users next week. Cool stuff!
