About
The rel="preload" attribute on 
HTML <link> elements instructs web browsers to fetch important resources early before they are requested during page rendering.
It is commonly used to prioritize fonts, stylesheets, scripts, images, and other critical assets, helping reduce render delays and improve page loading performance.
The Speculation Rules API is a browser API that improves navigation performance by prefetching or prerendering pages that users are likely to visit next.
It uses 
JSON-based rules embedded in HTML or HTTP headers, and is designed as a successor to older techniques such as 
Prefetch and the deprecated Prerender attribute.
