Overview
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.

Awesome!!!

This plugin is flawless. Only added it on a couple of sites, but my PageSpeed Insights scores are still the same. The plugin is written by reputable coders who know what they are doing. Definitely worth adding, because prefetching page links is all the rage. That’s why the Jamstack websites such as Gatsby are so quick to navigate. If you want your WordPress to be as fast then this is the type of plugin you should be adding, once you’ve done the basics like W3 Total Cache, Smush and the rest…
