Update: Since 5.1 you need to also add data-instant-mousedown-shortcut as an attribute to the <body> to enable it, as it’s been known to conflict with some existing scripts.
Because this cuts into the time instant.page gets to preload on hover, if your pages take more than 100 ms to be delivered, you might not see a speed boost. In that case consider preloading as soon as the links are visible, with a data-instant-intensity="viewport-all" attribute that you add to the <body>.
This is then similar to quicklink, with the added benefit that page loads display on average 80 ms faster. instant.page also has the advantage to fallback to preloading on touch start if the user has data saver enabled or is on 2G, which is important if you care about emerging markets.
