About
The rel="prerender" attribute on 
HTML <link> elements is a deprecated browser hint that instructed web browsers to preload and render a web page in the background before navigation occurred.
It was used to improve perceived performance by preparing and rendering likely next pages before users opened them.
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.
