Definitions from the Web

Prefetch

Definition: Prefetch is a technique used by web browsers to retrieve and cache resources, such as images, scripts, or stylesheets, in advance before a user requests them. It aims to optimize loading times and enhance website performance.

Example:

  • The browser prefetches images and scripts when a user hovers over a link, resulting in faster page rendering.
  • Local usage (informal): In our neighborhood, we call it "preloading" instead of prefetching.
