Preload, prefetch and other link tags

There’re lots of ways to improve web performance (see Web Performance 101 for a full overview). One of those ways is to preload content you’ll need later in advance. Prefetch a CSS file, prerender a full page, or resolve a domain ahead of time – and you won’t have to wait for it when it’s actually needed! Sounds cool.
