* Since the embed's network requests load within its iframe,

* So, the best we can do is warm up a few connections to origins that are in the critical path.
*
* Maybe `<link rel=preload as=document>` would work, but it's unsupported: http://crbug.com/593267
* But TBH, I don't think it'll happen soon with Site Isolation and split caches adding serious complexity.
