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.
Partytown is a lazy-loaded library to help relocate resource intensive scripts into a web worker, and off of the main thread.
