   Is it possible to prefetch another page on a site when the home page is visited? If so, how?

   Is that prefetch in terms of a perfomance thing--if so maybe a cache type plugin might help.

   And then do what with the page?

   You can use get_pages or query_posts to get a specific page. You can wrap the code in the is_home() Conditional Tag.

   But here's an example to get a page...
   

   <?php
   $args=array(
     'p' => 42,
     'post_type' => 'page',
     'post_status' => 'publish',
     'posts_per_page' => 1,
     'caller_get_posts'=> 1
   );
   $my_query = null;
   $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
   //$my_query will hold that page
   wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
   ?>

   If you just want to pre fetch images, create a class called prefetch, put display none important in it then use a href tags in your template footer file.

   @a_johnson- it's more than images, though thank you for the reply. I will probably could use though in other situations.

   @MichaelH- this would be for an exit pop-up and want to have it display quickly. I'll give it a try...thanks!
