Fastr

Fastr turns following links even faster

Fastr is a simple micro-script to make your users follow links even faster. It simply add a link element with rel="prefetch" and rel="prerender to the document head when the user hovers a link. In mobile browsers, Fastr works when touchstart is fired.

By doing this we can improve the experience of navigating trough links. The delay between you hover and click a link is, in average, 400ms*. This is the sufficient amout of time to prefetch a web page or even prerender it, if you have a simple webpage.

*Not scientifically proved, yet.
