About
Quicklink is an open-source 
JavaScript library from the Google Chrome team that speeds up subsequent page loads by prefetching links likely to be visited next.
It automatically detects links visible in the viewport, waits until the browser is idle, skips slow or data-saver connections, supports both prefetching and prerendering, and provides controls for request priority, throttling, allowed origins, and ignored URLs.
The Speculation Rules API is a browser API that improves navigation performance by prefetching or prerendering pages that users are likely to visit next.
It uses 
JSON-based rules embedded in 
HTML or HTTP headers, and is designed as a successor to older techniques such as 
Prefetch and the deprecated Prerender attribute.
