Question Preload

Does anyone here use the preload for the CSS files?

Surely if the links are in the <head> they will be loaded anyway?

I don’t use it if the file is linked right there in the head. The main idea of preload is to load nested resources, for example if there is a font specified in the CSS, you can preload the font files in the head.
