This page's head holds a realistic set of <link> elements, and its body a few links with rel. The table lists them all.
A visitor's comment: "The echo is handy, see my test page."
Sponsored: a paid placement. Private: a link that sends no Referer.
Written out by hand. With script on, this table is rebuilt from the live document.
| Element | rel | href | What happens | This browser recognizes it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
link | stylesheet | rel-inspector.css | Fetched at once, and blocks rendering until it arrives: the table's styles come from it. | needs script |
link | icon | /favicon.svg | Fetched by the browser for its own interface: the tab, bookmarks and history. | needs script |
link | manifest | rel-inspector.webmanifest | The web app manifest: name, icons and colors used if the page is installed. Fetched when the browser needs it. | needs script |
link | canonical | https://cse134.site/…/rel-inspector | Not fetched. Search engines treat it as this page's preferred address and fold duplicates into it. | needs script |
link | alternate (hreflang) | three language versions | Not fetched. Search engines show the version in the searcher's language; x-default is the fallback. | needs script |
link | alternate (type) | …/updates.atom | Not fetched. Feed readers and some browser extensions find the page's feed through it. | needs script |
link | preconnect | https://fonts.example.com | The browser looks up the host and opens a connection before anything needs it. This host does not exist, so it fails quietly. | needs script |
link | dns-prefetch | https://cdn.example.com | The DNS lookup only, the cheaper and older hint. This host does not exist either. | needs script |
link | preload | /assets/…/IBMPlexSans-SemiBold.woff2 | Fetched at once, at high priority, for this page: the heading font, which CSS alone would find later. | needs script |
link | modulepreload | rel-inspector.js | Fetches and parses the script module that rebuilds this table, before the script element asks for it. | needs script |
link | prefetch | /interaction/linking/navigation/ | Fetched at low priority, when the browser is idle, for a page the person may visit next. Not supported in Safari. | needs script |
link | me | https://social.example.com/@cse134b | Not fetched. A profile that links back here with rel="me" can show this site as verified. | needs script |
link | author | https://example.com/cse134b/staff | Not fetched. Says where to find out who wrote the page. | needs script |
link | license | https://example.com/cse134b/license | Not fetched. Says which license covers the page's main content. | needs script |
a | prev, next | the lessons before and after | Followed only when clicked. Describe the series. Google said in 2019 that it no longer uses them. | needs script |
a | help | /interaction/linking/relationships/ | Followed only when clicked. Marks the link as help for this page. | needs script |
a | ugc nofollow | /api/echo?from=comment | A link in content a visitor wrote, which the site does not vouch for. A hint to search engines. | needs script |
a | sponsored | /api/echo?from=ad | A paid link. A hint to search engines not to count it as a recommendation. | needs script |
a | noreferrer | /api/echo?from=noreferrer | The browser sends no Referer header and gives a new tab no opener. Follow it: the echo shows no referer. | needs script |
