Disable Link Prefetching #21
Description
Summary:
Modern browsers (especially Chrome) may prefetch or prerender linked pages, which causes unwanted backend load and breaks the handcrafted, 90s-inspired web feel of VaporNet. We want to prevent any automatic background navigation or asset fetching.
✅ Minimal Fix
Add the following to the <head> of all generated pages:
<meta http-equiv="x-dns-prefetch-control" content="off">This tells Chrome and others to disable DNS prefetching on linked domains/pages.
📍 Status
- Add
<meta http-equiv="x-dns-prefetch-control" content="off">to all HTML output - Test behavior in Chrome to confirm prefetching is suppressed
- Keep things era-accurate: no extra JS or modern performance strategies
