 * Hi there, I’d like some guidance about the “Preconnect” feature. Is it recommended
   to put all external domains or just max 5?
 * Thanks.

 * -> I would indeed limit the amount of preconnects, 5 is not a bad number (this
   is gut feeling, don’t have hard data on this)
    -> most important ones are for
   3rd party domains which are not immediately connected to and which block the 
   onload event
 * hope this helps,
    frank
