Overview
¿What is Prerender and Prefetch? Nice question. It’s a new-navigators technique (ok i’m a liar, Mozilla do it from 2003!) that loads in background the next page you believe the visitor is going to visit.
This plugin puts the required metatag in your WordPress pages, based on settings you can change, allowing those compatible navigators to do a pre-load of the next page. When the visitor try to visit that page Boom! it just appears without need to wait for it!
