 * Hi there – great plug-in! Thank you! Couple of questions if you have a second:
 * I see the URLs loading in chrome network tab but show either “disk cache” or 
   actual size (37kb) but never says “prefetch cache”. Does that mean it’s working
   or not?
 * I saw this mentioned before but wanted to confirm that with Cloudflare APO on,
   the prefetched URLs should indeed be cached on the edge prior to that page actually
   being visited. Correct?
 * Thank you!

 * Never mind on the prefetch issue – I see it in the page once I visit it.

 * Thanks! Still wondering are these prefetch requests cached by Cloudflare if cache
   everything/APO is active even if the page isn’t actually visited?

 * Really appreciate your responses! Thank you so much! My final question: What 
   is the best way to handle the browser cache TTL so if someone happens to prefetch
   a url and it’s stored in “disk cache”, they get a fresh copy when it’s purged
   or expires. Right now we have cache-control “max-age=86400” to direct NGINX page
   caching on the server (at the hosts direction). Does it make sense to do this
   maybe?
 * max-age=60
    s-max-age=86400
 * or is it not needed?

 * [@joejamin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joejamin/) it’s better to never
   cache an HTML page in the browser. Pages cached when you preload are instantly
   revalidated when you navigate to the next page.
