Modulepreload does not work on client navigation

[celebro]

What version of Remix are you using?

1.17.0

Are all your remix dependencies & dev-dependencies using the same version?

• Yes

Steps to Reproduce

Open https://remix.run/ and browser network devtools. Navigate to blog. (I noticed this on on my own application running remix 1.17.0, but remix.run website exhibits the same problem)

Expected Behavior

All javascript modules / chunks should preload at start of navigation.

Actual Behavior

Only main route javascript loads, additional chunks only start loading after main javascript completes, despite all assets being available in the manifest. Preloading only works on initial page load, but not on client navigation.

From quick search it looks like the change was introduced here: f717d02e#diff-594d4b6ed5bd4abff7e9319566b5505b6a85753e665ff4d2113e888384a98377R1090 ?

Are you sure this behaved differently in the past? I don't think this is something introduced in 1.17.0 because the https://remix.run website is still on 1.15.0 but the referenced change (#6455) was introduced in 1.17.0. Could you let us know if this was working on your app on previous versions?

Yeah, you're right, I checked out older version and it never worked, I guess I just assumed based on initial page load it should. Should I open a feature request instead?

Yeah I can just convert this issue to a Proposal Discussion
