Comment on Show HN: Accessing a website you never visited before while being offline [demo]parent

Comments

Thanks, fair point.

I skipped technical terms like “prefetch” or “SXG” in the title to make it more approachable and spark curiosity — but I get how that could feel misleading.

You're right that prefetching counts as a visit in some sense. The point of the demo was to highlight how unexpected it can feel to load a site while offline, even if you never actively opened it before.
