link-prefetcher

A tiny link prefetcher (yet another one in the sea of prefetching tools). Uses fetch/xhr to prefetch links rather than the link tag.

prefetchHover()

Start prefetching as soon as possible. Abort if the cursor leaves the anchor tag before the prefetch process is done.

prefetchVisible()

Immediately prefetch all visible links (⚠️ use with caution, can eat up a lot of bandwidth).

Installation

npm i @orestbida/link-prefetcher

Usage

import { prefetchHover } from 'link-prefetcher';

prefetchHover();

or

<script defer src="dist/index.umd.js"></script>
<script>
    window.addEventListener('load', () => {
        LinkPrefetcher.prefetchHover()
    });
</script>
