 The `<NuxtLink>` component links pages between them. It renders a `<a>` tag with the `href` attribute set to the route of the page. Once the application is hydrated, pages transitions are performed in JavaScript by updating the browser URL. This prevents full-page refreshes and allow for animated transitions.
 
+When a `<NuxtLink>` enters the viewport, the page it links to is prefetched in the background. When the user clicks on the link, the page is already loaded and the transition is faster.
