Turbolinks

Turbolinks are Rails magic. Rails makes rendering pages almost instantaneous for pushState supporting browsers with Tubolinks.

How does it behave?

With Turbolinks turned on <a></a> tags that link to internal pages (other pages in your app) don't make a normal request that causes a page load. In stead an asynchronous request fetches the page from the server and window.history.pushState is invoked to replace the <body></body> tags of the current page and their contents.

Turbolinks also caches 10 page loads. That means the last ten pages of your app that your users have visited will be fetched directly from the server when a link is clicked, the request never has to touch the Rails stack, unless it's loading dynamic content.
