If you are getting into perf testing with your site, the preload/prefetch/preconnect can make a bigger difference than you would think. I discovered that the #1 issue with site performance was still third-party Javascript...outdated and inconsiderate analytics/marketing scripts to be specific. Many of them refused to implement caching or use CDNs. I asked the marketing team to figure out which tags they were willing to drop and in the mean time, uncooperative tags were set to deferred execution so they would load last. Planning to do a whole article on my first-time adventures doing a performance audit on a production site sometime this week.
