@Fyrd Is this problematic at all? Do you accept PRs if one were to help?

[Fyrd]

@chrisaljoudi Yeah, I'm fine with adding this. See the contributing docs for details if you're interested. Thanks!

I would add rel="dns-prefetch" and rel="preconnect" to the list.

The W3C specs: http://w3c.github.io/resource-hints/
An article about preconnect: https://www.igvita.com/2015/08/17/eliminating-roundtrips-with-preconnect/

+1 and also +1 to what @gmetals said.

[Fyrd]

prefetch now available at http://caniuse.com/#feat=link-rel-prefetch

[Fyrd]

prerender now available at http://caniuse.com/#feat=link-rel-prerender

[Fyrd]

@gmetais & @kimslawson rel="dns-prefetch" and rel="preconnect" are separate issues: #1072 and #1879 so please vote there (dns-prefetch should be coming soon anyway as it was included in @dstorey's PR)

+1 for preload which is still missing, however the answer might be nothing currently supports the spec

[Schweinepriester]
