About

The rel="dns-prefetch" attribute on HTML <link> elements instructs web browsers to resolve domain names for external resources before those resources are requested.

It is commonly used for third-party domains serving scripts, fonts, analytics, advertisements, or media files, helping reduce DNS lookup latency and improve loading performance for external connections.

Micropub is an HTTP-based client-server protocol used to create, update, and delete posts on servers using third-party clients.
