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They're also referencing an outdated http/1.1 spec as well.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.
Not set to zero here mainly because I routinely visit the same
photography sites with many images on one page.
Do a lot of surfing for 3D graphic content which takes me to some fairly
intensive graphical sites and I don't seem to notice any slowdown with
my caches set to zero. I also have my pref set to check for new content
once per session, but now I'm thinking I should set it to "Never".
