PrefetchType
About
Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is a markup language used to create web pages and is the de facto standard for documents displayed in web browsers.
It defines the structure of web content using elements for text, links, images, forms, tables, and embedded media, organizes documents into a hierarchical DOM, and enables hyperlinking between pages, which is a fundamental mechanism of the World Wide Web.
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.
