+Instant prefetching is a new experimental feature that will start to fetch a
+page once the user hovers over a link. This will reduce the perceived loading
+time for the user, especially on slow connections, as the page will be available
+immediately upon navigation. Enable it with:
+
+``` yaml
+theme:
+  features:
+    - navigation.instant
+    - navigation.instant.prefetch
+```
