About
An open-source web server module for rewriting web pages to reduce latency and bandwidth, available for Apache and 
Nginx.
The rel="preconnect" attribute on 
HTML <link> elements instructs browsers to establish early connections to external origins before resources are requested.
It is used to reduce latency by opening DNS lookup, TCP handshake, and TLS negotiation in advance for critical third-party domains such as CDNs, font providers, and analytics services.
