Introducing Smart prefetching ⚡️

Starting from Nuxt v2.4.0, Nuxt will automagically prefetch the code-split pages linked with <nuxt-link> when visible in the viewport by default. This hugely improves the end-user performance, inspired by quicklink.

Demos are online and we recommend you to try it out to feel the difference:

No prefetching (v2.3): https://nuxt-no-prefetch.surge.sh
With prefetching (v2.4): https://nuxt-prefetch.surge.sh

You can learn more about this feature in the <nuxt-link> section of the documentation.
