The server does not send -the entire contents of the resource, but rather just the URL as an early part of -a response. The client can then validate its cache (potentially even eliminating -the need for a GET-if-modified-since), and will formally request the resource -only if needed. - -Server Hint is implemented using the LINK header with HTTP, and overlaps with -existing link prefetching semantics. - -Specifications: - -* [LINK rel=prefetch from - Mozilla](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Link_prefetching_FAQ) -* [LINK - rel=subresource](/spdy/link-headers-and-server-hint/link-rel-subresource) - -### Comparison of Server Push and Server Hint - -<table> -<tr> -<td> Pro</td> -<td> Con</td> -</tr> -<tr> -<td>Server Push</td> - -* <td> Lowest Latency Delivery Mechanism</td> - * <td>Saves 1 round-trip</td> - -* <td>If the client already has the resource cache, the load is - wasteful</td> -* <td>The Application must decide if it should push the resource, the - protocol cannot know whether the client has a resource</td> - -</tr> -<tr> -<td> Server Hint</td> - -* <td>Provides early discovery of critical resources</td> -* <td>Can include etag or last-modified information to avoid - over-the-network cache validation checks</td> -* <td>Allows the client to participate in cache validation before - sending the resource</td> - -* <td>Still requires a round-trip between the client and server to - fetch the resource.</td> - -</tr> -</table>
