HTML5 Image/Link Prefetching

Over the years, a lot of times I have had to prefetch images to improve perceived performance of a page using some weird javascript hack or something "display:none" technique. There is a much simpler way now.

<link rel="prefetch" href="/images/big.jpeg"></code></pre>

The larger concept is called Prebrowsing. For more check out this link: http://www.stevesouders.com/blog/2013/11/07/prebrowsing/
