Description

### Impacted plugin

Jetpack, Backup, Boost, Search

### What

WP Core just added options to handle resource preloading. This may be a good opportunity to review our usage of preloading and resource hints in Jetpack plugins.

### How

This was just added to WP Core, and will ship with the upcoming version of WordPress, v. 6.1, in November 2022:

https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/53846

It would be nice if we added support for it in our plugins.
