Hi, I'm interested in adding support for <link rel=preload> <https://w3c.github.io/preload/> and the corresponding "Link:" headers and wanted to gauge interest for supporting the feature.
The preload relationship provides a declarative fetch primitive that enables developers to initiate a resource fetch and separate fetching from resource execution. As such, preload is a low-level primitive that enables applications to build custom resource loading and execution behaviors without hiding resources from the user agent and incurring delayed resource fetching penalties. Use cases include: * Early fetch of lately discovered critical resources - Sites that contain critical resources that aren't discoverable by the preload scanner (e.g. fonts, JS loaded scripts and styles, etc) can use the feature to download these critical resources early * Separation of download and execution in a declarative, non-hacky way. All in all, it would enable Web sites to significantly improve loading performance in various common scenarios. Thanks! Yoav
