DNS Prefetch Plugin

This plugin implements DNS prefetching per the Mozilla specification for the Firefox browser. Hopefully, other browsers will eventually support DNS prefetching.

See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Controlling_DNS_prefetching for more detail.

3. Go to Settings » DNS Prefetch, configure plugin.

4. View any of your pages, they should contain the following meta tag:

In addition, if you configured any additional domains, they should also be listed after the line of code above.

1. 

   Plugin settings page (note the URLs entered)

2. 

   HTML source of a webpage (the URLs above are added to the HTML source)

How do I use the plugin?

Go to Settings » DNS Prefetch and enter any domains you want to be prefetched by Firefox browsers, in addition to the ones already linked on your home page. Make sure the “enabled” checkbox is checked.

For example, you might have www.example.com linked on one of your subpages. By adding “//www.example.com” you instruct browsers to resolve the DNS for that domain, decreasing the latency should someone with a Firefox browser visit that page.

I entered some text but don’t see anything on the page.

I don’t want the admin CSS. How do I remove it?
