More from https://instant.page/ –
instant.page uses just-in-time preloading — it preloads a page right before a user clicks on it.
Before a user clicks on a link, they hover their mouse over that link. When a user has hovered for 65 ms there is one chance out of two that they will click on that link, so instant.page starts preloading at this moment, leaving on average over 300 ms for the page to preload.
