About
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.
Quicklink is an open-source 
JavaScript library from the Google Chrome team that speeds up subsequent page loads by prefetching links likely to be visited next.
It automatically detects links visible in the viewport, waits until the browser is idle, skips slow or data-saver connections, supports both prefetching and prerendering, and provides controls for request priority, throttling, allowed origins, and ignored URLs.
