The intermediary server generates an informational response that includes one or more link header fields that reference one or more pieces of content respectively that are predicted by the intermediary server to be linked within a final response for the asset. The intermediary server transmits the generated informational response to the client prior to a final response for the request. The intermediary server transmits the request to the origin server and receives a final response to the request. The intermediary server transmits the final response to the request to the client.
