Why the prefetch though? Reason being bots don't open them? If so, this is a really good idea!

  It’s likely faster for the noscript case.

    Yeah, I don't know about that. Wouldn't it be that the query strings differentiate the two links? I assume so, because of an old trick where query strings are used for ad-hoc cache control as in /style.css?1629472765

      Query string is to differentiate the links (to understand which case is getting triggered)

        OK, but then the prefetch link as it stands is useless, no?

      You’re right, I wasn’t paying close enough attention. That’s what I get for reading HN mostly on my phone!
