I am probably very late to this particular party, but I just noticed that as I typed in my local web server address into Chrome that a hit was appearing on my web server before I clicked enter, and before any content was loaded onto my screen. It appears that this is a setting in Chrome (Settings > Advanced settings > Predict network actions to improve page load performance).
I was very impressed, but I did wonder if it might have some effect on analytics if the user starts typing in an address but changes their mind - does it run javascript on the page prior to load? Can analytics tell if it is a pre-render or a full render?
