1 points · Open discussionHow is this different than https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/quicklink?
In Instant.pageInstant.page and Quicklink attempt to speed up the perceived loading of pages by pre-loading pages before a user clicks.
The "Test your click speed" button is fun to play with. Times 50-100 ms for mobile and 150-300 ms for desktop are reasonable long for performing some pre-loading.

In The 64 Milliseconds ManifestoI'm curious how this is better than Google quicklink (https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/quicklink) which is something I have active on my site currently.
Can someone with more technical knowledge point out which of these two "instant pages" solutions is better?
