Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records Quicklink for WordPress version 0.10.4 as active, updated 1y ago and tested up to WordPress 6.7.
Overview
About this plugin
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 <link rel=prefetch> or XHR). Provides some control over the request priority (can switch to fetch() if supported).
