+
+Prefetching is now supported in core
+
+You can enable prefetching for your site with the `prefetch: true` config. It is enabled by default when using [View Transitions](https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/view-transitions/) and can also be used to configure the `prefetch` behaviour used by View Transitions.
+
+You can enable prefetching by setting `prefetch:true` in your Astro config:
+
+```js
+// astro.config.js
+import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
+
+export default defineConfig({
+ prefetch: true
+})
+```
+
+This replaces the `@astrojs/prefetch` integration, which is now deprecated and will eventually be removed.
+Visit the [Prefetch guide](https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/prefetch/) for more information.
