How can you tell if a site you frequent
is setup to use prefetch of web pages?



I think you're confusing prefetch with "cache". There is no prefetch as
such for web pages.

To find your cache entries in SM, enter about:cache in the URL location
window and then under Disk Cache Device, click the link "List Cache
Entries" - a list of all cached sites,etc. will be displayed.


No prefetch?  On the SeaMonkey menu bar, go to [Edit>  Preferences].  On
the Preferences window, select [Advanced>  Cache] under Category (left
pane).  On the bottom of the Cache pane is a checkbox to enable
prefetching.

See<https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Link_prefetching_FAQ>.


 From the FAQ:

"When the user visits one of the prefetched documents, it can be served
up quickly out of the browser's cache" .. Note: cache :-)

With today's connection speeds, CPU and RAM speeds, I see no advantages
to what they call "prefetch", same theory basically as Windows PreFetch
which IMHO is useless.

They're also referencing an outdated http/1.1 spec as well.


...one more reason I run SM with my cache space set to zero.
