Speed up navigations by automatically prefetching in-viewport links ⚡
Quicklink Chrome Extension Extension
Functionality:
The extension injects and initializes Quicklink library in every site a user visits: https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/quicklink.
Once initialized, the library starts prefetching any links that come into the view.
It will prefetch at most 5 in-viewport links.
By default, the extension ignores URLs patterns that shouldn't be prefetched. For example, URLs containing \"signup\", \"signin\", \"logout:, etc.
To add more patterns to ignore:
1. Click on the extension icon.
2. Pick \"Options\" on the drop-down menu.
The settings screen lets you add additional URL patterns to ignore and to opt-out from Analytics.
