Prefetch only local URLs

    Absolutely amazing plugin. Just one recommendation.

    Allow us to add 2 settings in the Prefetch/instant.page function:

    (1) Prefetch
    [] immediately (pageload may suffer)
    [] x ms after pageload (to avoid Google PageSpeed penalty)

    (2) Prefetch
    [] internal links only
    [] internal and external links

    (3) Prefetch
    [] links throughout the page
    [] links only inside the class _________ (for example: related_links)

    I’ve also noticed that in the instance where we ask it to prefetch URLs in viewport, it doesn’t do so when the viewport changes, for instance, when we scroll down.

    Hi @chrisatx,
    The prefetch on viewport is meant only for the above the fold viewport internal links. The plugin does not prefetch external links.

    For the prefetch on mouse hover, internal links are only prefetched when user do mouse hover. I have not seen any Google PSI penalty issue with the current prefetch approach.

    Moreover, many of the suggestions you have given requires modification of the page HTML in order for instant page to detect them or work in that way. In these cases, you can always disable the prefetch options given by the plugin and implement instant page script by yourself with the features you want to use.
