Installing the Drupal Quicklink module
The Quicklink module comes preconfigured out of the box, and should work well for 98% of sites. Installation is as normal (see below).
The Quicklink module admin interface is located at
admin/config/development/performance/quicklink, and can be accessed from a tab on the development / performance settings page.
Test before deploying to production
Because Quicklink will be requesting many additional pages than your server is currently serving, be sure to test extensively before deploying to production. After deployment, monitor carefully until you are satisfied your server is handling the requests nominally.
That being said, caching is enabled by default. And many hosting providers have built in CDNs. If caching and/or CDNs are configured properly, your server should be fine.
Manual Installation of the JavaScript library
For performance reasons, it's recommended that you host the Quicklink JavaScript library locally.
Note: Because of licensing restrictions, the Quicklink JavaScript library cannot be hosted on Drupal.org. By default this module will load the Quicklink JavaScript library from a CDN at https://unpkg.com/quicklink@3.0.1/dist/quicklink.umd.js.
If you place a copy of this file into your local filesystem, this module will serve the local copy instead of the CDN copy.
