prefetchable

Behavior name: Prefetchable Objects

Allow matching objects to prefetch into the edge cache as the parent page that links to them loads, rather than waiting for a direct request. This behavior applies depending on the rule's set of matching conditions. Use prefetch to enable the overall behavior for parent pages that contain links to the object. To apply this behavior, you need to match on a filename or file_extension.
