CSSType
About
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a stylesheet language used to control the presentation of 
HTML and 
XML documents, defining layout, colors, typography, and responsive behavior across different devices.
It uses a cascading and specificity model to resolve style conflicts, supports reusable rules and selectors, and includes layout systems such as Flexbox and Grid, media queries for responsive design, and features for animations, transformations, and advanced text formatting.
The rel="prefetch" attribute on HTML <link> elements tells the browser to download resources that are likely to be needed for future navigation when the current page is idle.
It allows caching resources in advance with low priority and is commonly used for next-page documents, scripts, styles, or assets in multi-step flows.
