## What it is
A small JavaScript library that makes website navigation feel instant by preloading pages just-in-time—on link hover (after 65ms) or touch start—before the user clicks. It's added to a site with a single script tag and requires no configuration.

## Use cases
- reduce page load latency on my website
- preload pages when users hover over links
- make site navigation feel instant
- improve website conversion rate by speeding up clicks
- add instant page transitions with one script tag
- speed up mobile page loads on touch

## When to choose
- you want a drop-in, zero-config latency improvement for a multi-page site
- you serve mostly same-origin HTML pages and want faster perceived navigation
- you want minimal bandwidth waste via hover-based just-in-time preloading

## When to avoid
- your site is a single-page app where full-page preloading doesn't apply
- you can't afford any extra network requests from hover preloading
- you need heavy prefetching control or caching strategies beyond link preloading
